Greetham is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, three miles east of the nearest town, Horncastle, and half a mile north of the A158/B1195 junction. To the west is High Toynton, and further to the north, Fulletby.
Greetham is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book with 56 households, which for the time was considered quite large, 300 acres of meadow, a mill and a church, with Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester as Lord of the Manor.[1]
The parish church, All Saints, is part of the Horncastle Group of churches. It dates from the 12th century, and was partly rebuilt in 1903, although the south aisle and tower have been demolished. It is a Grade II listed building [2]
