History
The station opened on 4 April 1898. It was staffed until 1954; between 1904 and 1940 it was overseen by Charlie Brown, a local man employed by the Great Western Railway.
The station had few passenger facilities, and dealt primarily with small goods. Boxford was the first stop on the line with a siding, which also functioned as a passing loop.
The station closed to all traffic in 1960. The station's wooden shelter is now used as a bus shelter in the village.Passengers No More by G.Daniels and L.Dench
