| Administrative History | Ecclesiastically the parish contains or contained the mother church of St George and St Mary at Church Gresley, the chapel of Holy Trinity also at Church Gresley (opened 1903, closed January 1932; briefly re-opened May 1932-July 1934 while the mother church was repaired), and the chapel of ease of Christ Church, Linton, built in 1881. There are separate series of registers for the chapels of ease. Geographically, the parish originally contained the townships of Church Gresley, Castle Gresley, Linton, Drakelowe, Swadlincote, and parts of Oakthorpe and Donisthorpe, the latter two now in Leicestershire. Oakthorpe and Donisthorpe became a separate parish in 1838, and Swadlincote in 1846. |
