Graveley is a village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, England. ==History== The parish of Graveley covers an area of at the western end of the historical county of Cambridgeshire. Until Huntingdonshire was merged into Cambridgeshire in 1965, its north, west, and south borders were with Huntingdonshire parishes. Its eastern border follows a small stream that separates it from Papworth St Agnes. In 1941 an area of straddling the border with Offord Darcy was requisitioned by the government to form Graveley airfield and was used by bomber squadrons until the end of the Second World War. The part in Graveley included the end of the main runway and a number of buildings. The airfield closed in 1946 but reopened in the late 50s as a relief airstrip for Oakington barracks. The land returned to agricultural use in 1967.〔 Listed as ''Greflea'' in the 10th century and ''Gravelei'' in the Domesday Book of 1086 the name is believed to mean "woodland clearing by the pit or trench".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Dictionary of British Place-Names )〕
