Grateley is a village in the district of Test Valley in NW Hampshire. It is 6 miles W of Andover and 15 miles NW of Winchester. The church is at the W end of the village and is a flint building with a nave with a S porch, a low W tower and a chancel. There is no chancel arch and although nave and chancel are separately tiled they have a continuous roof structure. The nave is 12thc with a round-headed doorway and an original window at the E end of the N wall , while the chancel is 13thc. with a triple lancet E window. The porch is dated 1734 and was restored in the 19thc. The tower is 13thc with a later brick parapet added. The only features recorded here are a plain tub font and the plain S doorway.

Grateley is not mentioned by that name in the Domesday Survey, but in 1130 the sheriff was farming the manor which had belonged to Robert de Matteom. In 1167 William de Mauduit held the manor, which continued in that family until 1364, when John of that name died leaving as heir a grand-daughter called Maud, who married Sir Henry Greene of Drayton, a councillor of King Richard II.

The church was restored in 1851 by Owen Brown Carter of Winchester, and again in 1981 to tackle problems with water penetration into the tower. This was not completely successful and the treatment was repeated in 2010.

The font was discovered at Manor Farm, Grateley. It has been recut at some time. The font base may have originally been the base of a cross (Anon. church guide).
