Scene Description: Source caption: "Church of St Mary, Greasley. A fine 15th century tower is all that remains of the medieval church. Damage from subsidence from coal mining meant that the rest of the church was completely rebuilt towards the end of the 19th century. The vestry was added in 1963."
