In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Grafton like this:
GRAFTON, a hamlet in Beckford parish, Gloucester; 6 miles SSW of Evesham. Real property, £1, 328. A landslip of about 16 acres, from the side of Breedon hill, occurred here in 1764, and entirely covered the pasture-grounds below.
Grafton is now part of WYCHAVON District. Click here for graphs and data of how WYCHAVON has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Grafton itself, go to Statistics.
