Greetham is a small village and civil parish in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. Set among rolling farmland and pockets of woodland in Britain’s smallest historic county, it sits a few miles north of Oakham and within easy reach of Rutland Water, so it attracts walkers, birdwatchers and people looking for quiet countryside living.
Traditionally an agricultural community with medieval roots, the village still shows character in its stone cottages, farmsteads and parish church; today the local economy mixes farming with commuters who work in nearby towns. Social life is typically village-centred and relaxed, with conservation, rural recreation and a strong sense of local identity important to residents.
