The title is used for dances at <br />
* [[Bampton]]<br />
* [[Bledington]]<br />
* [[Fieldtown]]<br />
<br />
At Bledington and Fieldtown this is a leapfrog dance.<br />
<br />
Research by [[Mike Heaney]] established that the title is a corruption of the phrase “Glorious Year” – taken from a song titled ‘Now Comes on the Glorious Year’, which was published in 1709 in [[Thomas D’Urfey]]’s ''The Modern Prophets''.<br />
<br />
The Bledington tune appears to be based on the song’s melody. A completely different tune is used in the other two traditions.<br />
