Descrizione:

The red kite, or more generally a hawk, classed as vermin in the past. 1632 <i>A paine laid that noe tenant ... suffer any glead pyannatt water Crowe or Ruckes ... to brude but destroy either their eggs or young ones</i>, Burton Agnes (YRS74/88). When the minister Oliver Heywood was discussing turkey chicks he wrote: 1682 <i>a glead came furiously to catch them, </i>Northowram (OH4/44). The bird’s colour was evidently distinctive: 1564 <i>Item a yonge black horsse 40s; Item a yonge gledcolorede 40s</i>, Marske (YRS152/130); 1578 <i>Item a glead hewed colte,</i> Loversall (YAJ36/451). It was a common element in minor place-names, e.g. Gledholt, Gledwing, and probably the source of an early by-name: 1251 <i>William Glede,</i> Aughton (YRS44/55).
