It sounds like either 'Box Blight' or a magnesium/potassium deficiency in the soil. Try feeding with potash.

If it is box blight you will have to prune out all affected branches and hope that the re-growth is unaffected. If you leave infected branches on the plant the disease will spread further. Look up box blight on RHS website or similar.
