A cut benchmark mark on the buttress, north east angle east face, of All Saints' church, Grafham.

"This Church of All Saints is an ancient building of simple construction, where religious services have been held for more than 850 years.

Although there was no record of a church in the Domesday Book of 1086, we believe the first timber and thatch church was built in the period 1125-1150 AD

The early wooden structure lasted for more than 100 years, but as it decayed, it was progressively replaced with stone, and also enlarged over the following centuries.

Major re-decoration and some restoration were undertaken in 1996 with further work on the windows completed in 2000."
