Gretton is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, lying a few miles west of Corby and on the fringes of the historic Rockingham Forest. The settlement retains a compact core of stone and brick cottages and a parish church that hint at medieval origins, set amid rolling farmland and lanes popular with walkers.
Traditionally agricultural with links to the wider manufacturing history of the area, the local economy today combines farming with residents who commute to nearby towns. Community life is centred on the village hall, the local pub and occasional fêtes and events, and the surrounding countryside provides a strong sense of rural identity and wildlife interest.
