Grafton is a hamlet in Worcestershire, England, situated between the villages of Beckford and Ashton under Hill, south-east of Bredon Hill.

The name Grafton means a woodland settlement.[https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/glos/vol8/pp250-262 "Parishes: Beckford", in A History of the County of Gloucester: Volume 8, ed. C R Elrington (London, 1968), pp. 250-262] British History Online. Retrieved 9 July 2021.

There was a chapel at Grafton from the mid-12th century, a dependent chapel of the minster church at Beckford. About 1543 it was broken into by local men, and apparently damaged beyond repair. Norman Cottage, a privately owned building, now stands on the site. It dates from the 17th century, and incorporates the north, west and east walls, and the chancel arch, of the 12th-century chapel.{{NHLE|num=1167342 |desc=Norman Cottage|access-date= 10 July 2021}}
