Greetham is a village in Lincolnshire, England in the district of East Lindsey.
It lies 0.5 miles (0.8 km) north from the A158, 3 miles (4.8 km) east from Horncastle, near the junction with the B1195. To the west is High Toynton and further to the north is Fulletby.
Greetham was mentioned in Domesday Book of 1086, when it had 56 households, which for the time was considered quite large, 300 acres of meadow, one mill, one church, and the Lord of the Manor was Earl Hugh of Chester.[1]
The church is dedicated to All Saints, in the Horncastle group of churches. It dates from the 12th century, being partly rebuilt in 1903, although the south aisle and tower have been demolished, and is a Grade II listed building.[2]
