Newchurch railway station, was an intermediate station situated on the edge of Newchurch village [1] on the line from Newport to Sandown incorporated by the Isle of Wight and Newport Junction Railway in 1868,[2] opened in 1875 and closed 81 years later.[3] Despite its rural location a “respectable” [4] number of families alighted at the simple station, "little more than a wooden hut”.[5] The nearest location to the site is a bungalow, Newchurch Crossing.[6]
