Grayshott, Civil parish in East Hampshire, England.

Grayshott is a civil parish in East Hampshire that spreads along the Headley Road, linking Hindhead to Headley Down with residential and commercial buildings. The settlement follows the course of the main road as it passes through the area.

The name first appeared in records from Winchester Bishopric in 1185 as Gravesetta and underwent several spelling changes before settling into its current form. The parish developed over centuries as a rural settlement along a major route through the region.

St Luke's Church with its tall tower dominates the village skyline and serves as a focal point when walking through the streets. The building's presence shapes how people navigate and gather in the community.

Haslemere railway station provides the nearest train connections to London and other destinations, serving as the main transport link for visitors. The settlement sits along a straight main road, making it straightforward to walk through the area.

Author Flora Thompson once worked as assistant postmistress here before writing her celebrated novel Lark Rise to Candleford. Her experiences in this location influenced the portrayal of rural life that made her work memorable.
