History

The station lay approximately half a mile from the small hamlets of Tatterford and Helhoughton but took its name from the Raynham Hall residence of Lord Townshend, erstwhile chairman of the Lynn & Fakenham Railway, some 1.5 miles away.

Present day

The station buildings survive as a private residence. The present owners have added an old carriage on rails at the former station platform.
