Boxford is a charming village that is graced by the flowing River Lambourn and offers easy access to London via the nearby fast train service or M4 motorway. It's also home to excellent local schools and a friendly community spirit. Don't miss out on a visit to The Boxford, their local eatery, where you'll find great coffee, delicious food, and good times. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in community events, from tennis club to summer school club. And if you love the great outdoors, you'll enjoy exploring the lovely walks and the nearby North Wessex Downs National Landscapes.

The Boxford Masques

Accessibility

The Boxford Masques Originally, masques were lavish musical spectacles staged for kings, queens and courtiers. Early last century, in Boxford, well-to-do Charlotte Peake began writing her own ‘masques’ for performance by family and staff, and for the enjoyment of her arty circle of friends. Her stage was a natural amphitheatre at the top of Hoar Hill, overlooking most of the county. In ten years they became a village tradition.

Boxford is a lovely village with plenty of things to do. There’s a big recreation ground and a fantastic village hall.

While there are no schools in Boxford anymore, kids can easily travel on a bus to Stockcross Primary School.

Even though the village used to be more rural, many of the residents now work outside of the area.

The village hall, which was built in 2014, is a great venue for events.

There are two halls to choose from, a preschool hall and a community hall, and you can open the wall between them if you need more space.

There’s also a fitted kitchen, disabled facilities, and plenty of parking.

If you’re looking to spend some time outdoors, you’ll find a dedicated children’s play area, tennis club, and a recreation ground with space for BBQs.

The local church, St. Andrew’s, has been around since the 11th century.

It has been updated over the years, but parts of the building are still over 800 years old.

If you need to get around, there’s the handy bus service which is run by volunteers.

The local council is Boxford Parish Council.
