Charles Chapman Grafton was the son of Joseph and Anna Maria (Gurley) Grafton. He was born on April 12, 1830, in Boston, Massachusets, and died in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
His father, descended from Salem ancestors of English extraction, was a major in the War of 1812 and afterwards surveyor of the port of Boston. His mother was the daughter of John Ward Gurley, first attorney-general of Louisiana.
Charles attended the Boston Latin School 1843-46, and entered Phillips Academy, Andover, from which - because of eye-trouble, it is said, he soon withdrew to study at home under a private tutor. In 1863, he was graduated in law at Harvard.
Confirmed in the Episcopal Church in 1851 and already a laboriously earnest Christian, Grafton found himself increasingly drawn toward the High Church principles enunciated in England by Pusey.
He determined to enter the priesthood and to that end, soon after his graduation, went to Baltimore and put himself under the tutelage of Bishop W. R. Whittingham, an ecclesiastic whose views were more in accord with his own than were those of the Bishop of Massachusetts.
He was made deacon in 1855 and appointed assistant at Reisterstown, Maryland; later, he engaged in missionary activities in Baltimore. In 1858, he was ordained priest and the following year, became a curate of St. Paul’s Church, Baltimore, and chaplain of the deaconesses of the Maryland diocese.
Going to England at the conclusion of the war, he associated himself with one or two others in establishing the Society of St. John the Evangelist, known as the “Cowley Fathers, ” an order inspired by the ideals of monasticism.
Later, he organized the first great London mission and acted as chaplain in a cholera hospital. From 1872 to 1888, he was rector of the Church of the Advent in Boston, achieving a degree of success indicated by the fact that during those years he baptized half as many converts as were baptized into all the other nineteen Episcopal churches in the city. In 1889, he became Bishop of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
In the early 1900’s, in pursuance of his life-long concern with Eastern Christianity, Grafton visited Russia, and upon returning did what he could to bring about a coalition between Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Old Catholic communions.
The Works of Rt. Rev. Charles C. Grafton, in eight volumes, edited by Talbot Rogers, appeared in 1914.
Charles Chapman Grafton was the second Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. One of his dearest interests was the Sisterhood of the Holy Nativity, which he founded in 1888, resigning his church and going to Providence where the mother house was established. He was a co-founder of the Sisterhood of the Holy Nativity, along with the Rev. Mother Ruth Margaret Vose. He also founded the Benedictine Monastery of St. John Baptist in Fond du Lac, and was it's Abbot, with Brother Francis serving as it's Prior. He was also instrumental in organizing the American Congregation of the Order of St. Benedict in the Old Catholic Church. Grafton is honored with a feast day on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA) on August 30.

At Harvard, Grafton had been an Abolitionist, but by the time of the Civil War his position was more that of a conservative Unionist.
Personally, Grafton was distinguished in appearance and manner, suave in his contacts, consciously, if never complacently, as true a medieval Prince of the Church as Wisconsin ways would warrant.
In Wisconsin, he raised endowments, built churches, inaugurated seminaries and schools - most notably Grafton Hall, a school for girls, instituted religious orders and houses, and in general administered the affairs of his realm with great energy and sagacity.
