The Villages

Grafton Parish at sunset

The Parish consists of five lovely villages.

Over the centuries the prominence of individual hamlets has changed with East Grafton being the largest hamlet. 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

West Grafton, a straight line hamlet, is situated along a no-through road which turns South from the A338 and is the smallest of the hamlets in the Parish.

East Grafton

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 and attractive village. The main Pewsey to Hungerford road, the A338, runs through the village.

Marten

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

Wexcombe

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.

Wilton

The Wilton hamlet is associated with the 1821 working Wilton Windmill which is Grade II Listed Building of Special Architectural & Historic Interest 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.

One of the many community efforts in Wilton involved dredging the Wilton pond as you can see!
