Grafton Parish is situated between Hungerford and Burbage on the A338
 
 
This beautiful part of Wiltshire can be seen from this local aerial photo. 

Here is another example of our beautiful countryside.

Grafton Parish outline........(the full description can be found on the Wiltshire Communigate web site 
where details of each hamlet are viewable)
 
The Parish consists of 5 hamlets each of which has a very different character. During the centuries the prominence of individual hamlets has changed with East Grafton
being the largest hamlet in 2003

Details of each hamlet are included within this web site.

Locally, each separate collection of houses is known as a “village” in its own right.

The parish is situated in the east of the county of Wiltshire, about 6 miles east of Pewsey, seven miles south-east of Marlborough and six miles from the County borders
with both Berkshire and Hampshire.

West Grafton, a straight line hamlet, is situated along a cul de sac which turns South from the A338 and is the smallest of the hamlets in the Parish.

East Grafton, the largest of the hamlets, is divided into a number of distinct areas each reflecting growth stages in its development. It is a small attractive village. The
main Pewsey to Hungerford road, the A.338, runs through the village.

Marten lies south of the A338, it is a hamlet which has grown from a traditional farm with farm cottages.

Wexcombe is another hamlet along a small road running from the Fairmile which serves houses in the hamlet alone. Houses abut lanes and pathways in a meandering
layout.

The Wilton hamlet is associated with the 1821 working Wilton Windmill which is an historic site and attracts visitors in the Summer season. Wilton comprises many old
cottages which are served by a winding road skirting the village pond. The road to Great Bedwyn, which runs through part of the village, turns North from the A338.
