Gravett was born in February 1865 at Milford, Surrey. A professional who bowled slow left-arm orthodox, he was engaged by Burnley Cricket Club in the Lancashire League in 1895, having previously been engaged by Swindon Cricket Club in Wiltshire.[1] Gravett played first-class cricket for Hampshire, making his debut against Essex at Southampton in the 1899 County Championship. The following season, he made three first-class appearances in the County Championship against Lancashire, Worcestershire, and Sussex.[2] In his four first-class appearances, he took 15 wickets at an average of 29.66;[3] he took one five wicket haul, with figures of 5 for 50 against Lancashire.[4] Soon after, Gravett moved to Fenton in Staffordshire where he ran a sports outfitting business which adjoined Fenton railway station.[5] He continued to play club cricket into the 1920s, when having returned to Milford, he took figures of 10 for 21 at the age of 56, against Haslemere Comrades.[6] Gravett died at Godalming in February 1938.[7]
