History

The station opened on 9 August 1905 by the Midland Railway. It was situated on the south side of a footpath that was between Hempstead Road and the B487. There was initially no shelter but a petition was raised in 1907 to provide one to all four stations in 1907. It was named after the nearby Beaumont Hall. The station closed on 16 June 1947.[1][2]
