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] The name may have originated in Old English,[3] but Richard Coates and Andrew Breeze tentatively suggested an origin in the Common Brittonic word bod ("settlement") or the word surviving in modern Welsh as baedd ("boar"), compounded with the word found in modern Welsh as coed ("wood").[4]: 290
