[3] British travel writer John Marius Wilson described Boraston in his topographical dictionary Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales.

The nearby church at Nash, which also belongs to the Tenbury Team Ministry, is dedicated to St John the Baptist.

The building is described as having 'spiral fluting on part of the bowl; probably c.1700', it also claims that the font originates from nearby village Buildwas.

However, as more men (approximately 5 million)[9] were called up to serve in the forces for The Second World War (1939–1945), Boraston saw an incline in numbers, a possible reason for this could be the intake of evacuees.

Unlike the rest of the country Boraston also failed to see an incline in population as a result of the post-war 'baby boom', whereby nationally birth rates increased in the period from 1946 to 1974.

Unlike the 1881 Census data[10] agricultural employment is now barely existent in the village due to the fact that food is now transported nationwide rather than just locally and the UK imports much of its produce, furthermore advancement in technology means less staff are required.

Boraston's current Member of Parliament is Stuart Anderson who held the seat for the Conservative Party in the 2024 General Election.
