Background
History
There are different pronunciations and spellings for this village's name, including Greatford, Gritford, and Gretford. The name could be derived from its location on a gravel or 'grit' ford of the West Glen River. In October 1892 a granary full of barley collapsed at the farm of the Dean family, killing four people: two from Greatford, one from Langtoft and one from Market Deeping.
