Where old pubs have been re-named, we list only the most recent known name here. Other names can be found in the Pub list tab.




Last updated: March 2nd 2010

Attractive village set away from A1071 main road and containing a mixture of historic and modern developments including a former Tudor grammar school. Many of the older buildings are set around the church of St Mary. One former resident of White Hart was "Tornado Smith", a stunt-man who built his own "wall of death" in the pub yard. See pub details for more information.

Boxford Grammar School got its charter in 1596, but had existed at least 40 years by that time. It apparently ceased operation by the early 19th century, if not earlier.

Also see Boxford Stone Street and Whitestreet Green.
