Graveley is built on what used to be known as the Great North Road.
There are a number of attractive cottages and houses, including The George and Dragon pub which has an 18th-century facade of chequered brick. There is another pub, The Wagon & Horses, and at one time there were four, but two have now closed down. Nearby is the site of a former village, Chesfield – all that remain are the ruined walls of its 14th-century church.

The population of the remaining civil parish of Graveley at the 2011 Census was 487. The village is still growing, with several new houses added in recent years.
