Quick Facts General information, Location ...

Bodgate is a farmstead in east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated in North Petherwin civil parish about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) south of North Petherwin village, five miles (8 km) north-west of Launceston.[1] The parish was transferred from Devon to Cornwall in 1966.

The settlement was recorded as "Bodgat" in 1286,[2] and the name may have Saxon origins.[3]

It has long been held by the Hawke family.[4] A 1618 transfer of land rights to a Nicholas Hawke refers to the "mansion house, barton and demesnes called Bodgate in North Petherwin"[5] Tithe apportionments produced under the Tithe Commutation Act 1836 show the estate consisted of 326 acres c1840, held by a Richard Hawke.[6]

Both the 19th century Bodgate farmhouse,[7] and the nearby c. 17th century stable block[8] are Grade II listed buildings.
