Graveley nr. Stevenage / Grauelai

There are five entries for this Graveley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL2327/graveley/] [accessed 4 July 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Hertford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The nave is the oldest part of the present structure and probably dates from the 12th century. In the 13th century the chancel was either enlarged or wholly rebuilt. The west tower was added about 1480, and the south porch probably in the 18th century. The north aisle and north vestry date from 1887, when the church was restored throughout. […] The font, of limestone, is octagonal, of the 15th century." [NB: the VCH (ibid.) mentions the ruined church of Chesfield St. Etheldreda's nearby, but we have no information on any font from that church]
