In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Creeting St Olave like this:
CREETING-ST. OLAVE, a parish in Bosmere district, Suffolk; on an affluent of the river Gipping, 2¼ miles NNE of Needham-Market. Post town, Needham-Market. Real property, £626. Pop., 41. Houses, 7. An alien priory, a cell to Gresteen abbey, stood here at Gratings, and was given to Eton college. See Creeting-All Saints.
The location is that described on the 'Suffolk Churches' site (www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/creetingso.html).
