East Grafton is a small rural village in the civil parish of Grafton in Wiltshire, England, tucked into the Kennet Valley beside the River Kennet and a few miles east of the market town of Marlborough. The setting is typical chalk-country countryside of rolling downland, hedgerows and small fields, with ancient woodland such as nearby Savernake Forest visible on the horizon.
Historically the settlement grew as an agricultural community and still shows that legacy in its farmsteads and older cottages; today the local economy mixes farming with residents who commute to surrounding towns. Social life is quiet and community-centred, with village events, walking and riding on local lanes and footpaths, and a strong sense of place among long‑standing families and newer arrivals drawn to the peaceful rural landscape.
