Gretton is a small village located at the foot of the western scarp of the Cotswolds, about 9 miles north of Cheltenham in the English county of Gloucestershire.

The village has a small primary school for children aged 4 to 11 years old, with four classes catering for about eighty children.[1]

The Anglican Church in the village is Christ Church. Its bell tower houses a single bell, weighing four hundredweight (about 200 kg).[2] The War Memorial stands opposite Village Hall.

The village shares the same with the village of Gretton in the county of Northants in the East Midlands.
