== History ==
The village's name is derived from 'valley of a man named Granta or Grante'. It was spelled ''Grantandene'' in 973 and ''Grante(s)dene'' in the 1086 Domesday book.〔Mills, A.D. (1998). A Dictionary of English Place-names. Second Edition. Oxford University Press, Oxford. p159. ISBN 0-19-280074-4〕 Great Gransden was mentioned in 973 when its land was endowed to Thorney Abbey by Aethelwold, Bishop of Winchester. Its older centre is made up of cottages grouped around the 16th century church, although its tower dates from about 1390.〔(Huntingdonshire District Council: Great Gransden )〕 The continuing connection between the village and Clare College, Cambridge appears to date back to 1346, when the advowson for Great Gransden church was part of the original endowment of the college.〔('Parishes: Great Gransden', A History of the County of Huntingdon: Volume 2 (1932), pp. 296-302. )〕〔('The colleges and halls: Clare College', A History of the County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely: Volume 3: The City and University of Cambridge (1959), pp. 340-346. )〕
