Bossiney 2567148 201874919 2008-03-29T19:41:29Z DuncanHill 1739907 /* See also */ [[Boissiney Haven]] '''Bossiney''' ([[Cornish language|Cornish]]: ''Boskyni'') is a village in northern [[Cornwall]], [[United Kingdom]]. It is the eastern part of the larger village of [[Tintagel]]. It was previously considered a town on its own, and elected two members to the [[unreformed House of Commons]], until the [[Reform Act 1832]] stripped it of its representation as a [[rotten borough]]. To the east of the village lie the remains of an earthen ringwork and bailey, which were discovered during archaeological excavations during the 1800s, and these date to c. 1150. Almost certainly this castle was built by [[Reginald de Dunstanville, 1st Earl of Cornwall|Reginald]], the illegitimate son of [[Henry I of England]] who made him Earl of Cornwall. ==See also== * [[Bossiney (UK Parliament constituency)]] * [[Bossiney Haven]], the nearby beach. == External links == *[http://www.thisisnorthcornwall.com/bossiney.html About Bossiney] [[Category:Villages in Cornwall]] {{Cornwall-geo-stub}}
