Greet, Birmingham

Greet (grid reference SP100841) is a historical area in south Birmingham, England, around modern Sparkhill.

The manor was a timber-framed house, first mentioned in 1562, with the majority of the surrounding land being owned by Studley Priory.

The land remained in the ownership of the Priory until 1545 when it was sold to Clement Throckmorton and Sir Alexander Avenon, an ironmonger who would later become Lord Mayor of London.

Greswolde died in 1602 and left Greet to his eldest son, George, who was just thirteen years old at the time.

The other two thirds were held, in 1784, by William Richard Wilson and Jane Anne Eleanor, his wife, who appear to have given up their share to Henry Greswolde Lewis.
