Grimsargh is a small village and civil parish on the eastern edge of Preston in Lancashire, England. It sits on the rural fringe of the urban area, with views across the plains towards the Ribble Valley, and its name and pattern of lanes reflect early medieval origins and a long agricultural past.
Today Grimsargh largely functions as a commuter village while retaining working farms, local small businesses and an active village community centred on the church and village hall. The mix of traditional stone cottages and more recent housing, together with local clubs and events, gives it a strongly village character despite being close to Preston.
