Gledhow
Gledhow is a suburb of north east Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, east of Chapel Allerton and west of Roundhay. It sits in the Roundhay ward of Leeds City Council and Leeds North East parliamentary constituency. Etymology The name ''Gledhow'' is first attested the period 1334-37 as ''Gledhou''. Its etymology is uncertain. The ''gled-'' element could plausibly come from the Old English words ''gleoda'' ('kite, bird of prey') or ''glēd'' ('embers, burning coals'). The second element could be from Old English ''hōh'' ('ridge, escarpment') or Old Norse ''haugr'' ('hill'). It has been suggested (in relation to similar names like ''Gledhill'') that a ''gled-'' element may alternatively be based on the Old Norse ‘å glede’ (to please, or be glad about a subject) giving a translation of 'Pleasant Hill.'
