Grafton Flyford

Grafton Flyford is a village about 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Worcester, in Worcestershire, England.

In 1377, or 1378, Henry de Ardern was granted the manor of Grafton Flyford by the Earl of Warwick for a red rose.

[2][3] To the north-west and north-east of the church are earthworks (a scheduled monument) showing the remains of a deserted medieval village.

[4] To the east of the village is Grafton Wood, a nature reserve of the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust.

It is ancient woodland, and is the centre of the only colony of brown hairstreak butterflies in the Midlands.
