==History== Greasley (then Griseleia) is mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to William Peverel and being worth ten shillings. The book includes reference to a church, a priest and woodland pasture. The present church of St Mary was built in the mid 15th century, and parts of the building were restored in 1753, 1772, 1832 and 1882. The nave and chancel were rebuilt in 1896, and there are 20th century vestries. The building is Grade II listed.
