Greetwell is a small rural parish just to the east of Lincoln in the district of West Lindsey, Lincolnshire. It sits in an agricultural landscape of arable fields and hedgerows, with a modest cluster of houses and farms and a number of residents who commute into Lincoln for work and services. The village retains a quietly rural character despite its proximity to the city.
One of the parish’s most notable features is the old limestone workings at Greetwell Quarry, a reclaimed site valued for its geology, fossils and wildlife and used locally for informal recreation and nature interest; the parish also includes a small medieval church and a handful of historic buildings that reflect its long local history. Community life is typical of small Lincolnshire parishes, centred on the church, village gatherings and rural events rather than commercial activity.
