Boxford is a compact, picturesque village and civil parish in the Babergh district of Suffolk, England, set beside the wooded valley of the River Box. The village retains a strong historic character with rows of medieval timber‑framed houses and a designated conservation area, sitting within the gentle agricultural landscape that feeds into the wider Stour Valley.
Historically the settlement grew on the back of rural trades and the woollen economy, and today it combines farming and small local businesses with a large number of residents who commute to nearby towns such as Sudbury. Boxford still has a lively village life centred on its parish church, village hall, pubs and annual fêtes, making it a well‑preserved and socially active Suffolk community.
