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