Welcome to Boxgrove Village Stores
More Than Just a Shop: The Heart of Our Community
Nestled in the picturesque village of Boxgrove, on the edge of the South Downs National Park, you’ll find more than just a village store. Boxgrove Village Stores is a hub, a meeting point, and a lifeline for our community. We’re proud to offer a warm welcome, a friendly face, and a carefully curated selection of goods and services to locals and visitors alike.
A History as Rich as Our Surroundings
Boxgrove itself is steeped in history. Evidence suggests that the area has been inhabited since the Paleolithic era, with the famous Boxgrove Man discovery confirming a human presence here half a million years ago! The village as we know it began to take shape in the Saxon period, and the magnificent ruins of Boxgrove Priory, founded in the 12th century, stand as a testament to the village’s rich past.
While our store doesn’t date back quite that far, we occupy a building that has seen generations of Boxgrove residents come and go. Originally a traditional village shop serving basic needs, it has evolved over the years to meet the changing demands of the community.
