It is miles southwest of Uttoxeter in the valley of the River Blythe. In 1931 the parish had a population of 58.It is believed that the name Gratwich comes from the Old English ‘greot’, meaning gravel and ‘wic’ meaning “lying on”, so Gratwich means 'lying on gravel'. An alternative possibility may be “a dairy farm by the gravelly stream”. In the Domesday Book of 1086 Gratwich is recorded as Crotewiche. At that time the manor was part of the lands of Robert de Stafford. There was sufficient arable land for three ploughs. The recorded population was four villeins, five bordars and one serf. There was a Grist mill which brought in four shillings per year, and the manor was recorded as being worth 24 shillings per year. There was one acre of meadow and a wood half a league in length and breadth.The village church is St. Mary the Virgin's.Notable locals include native Ruth Gledhill (born 1959), journalist for The Times, daughter of the vicar of the time. Alfred Ronalds researched his renowned book The Fly-fisher's Entomology (1836) while living nearby at Lea Fields. On 1 April 1934 the parish was abolished and merged with Kingston.

Fradswell is a village in Staffordshire, England, approximately 7 miles (10 km) north-east of the town of Stafford and 7 miles (11 km) north of Colwich. Fradwell was first mentioned as part of the Colwich parish in the Domesday Book, where it is listed as Frodawelle or Frodeswelle, and it is likely to have been an Anglian settlement established during the Dark Ages.The village received a church of its own in the 13th century, when the Chapel of Saint James The Less was established. The chancel survives, but the main part of the church was rebuilt in 1764. Fradswell became a parish in its own right in February 1851 (it has since become the Milwich with Fradswell Parish), and further refurbishment, including the building of a new nave and the installation of stained glass by William Wailes, followed soon after.

In 2015, it was awarded a Big Lottery grant of £450,000 to demolish the 1924 wooden village hall and build a new fit-for-purpose community hub, opened by local children in 2016. Nearby in the village green is a serenity garden. The hub runs regular monthly community events throughout the year.Fradswell hosts two annual events. Each September, at Frapfest! the Fradswell Apple festival, locals donate apples to be chopped and pressed into apple juice, most of which is turned into Fradswell Cider over the autumn.
