The name Grayingham derives from the Old English Gra(ga)+inga+ham for "homestead of the family of a man named Graeg". The name is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Graingeham".

Grayingham Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to Saint Radegund. Originating from the 13th and 14th century, it was rebuilt in 1773 or 1797 leaving the Early English tower and west doorway intact. A further restoration was carried-out in 1870 by James Fowler. The 19th century reredos is by A. B. Skipwith, and a copper-gilt relief of the crucifixion by Conrad Dressler.
