[6] Bosham is surrounded by varying width green buffer land, the vast bulk of which is the south of the peninsula.

This includes the site of the original village centre on the harbour as well as the farmland and private property of Bosham Hoe.

At spring tides the sea comes up high flooding the rural lower road and some car parking spaces.

Several important Roman buildings have been found in northern Bosham around Broadbridge including a possible temple, a small theatre and a mosaic.

There are also said to be remains of a building popularly thought to be a villa belonging to Vespasian, at the Stone Wall in the parish.

[9] Pottery and tile fragments, of both Roman and early British period, have been discovered in the area, confirming pre-Anglo-Saxon activity.

Bede mentions Bosham in his book The Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation, speaking of Wilfrid's visit there in 681 when he encountered a Celtic monk, Dicul, and five disciples in a small monastery.

[12] In 1865 a coffin containing a child's skeleton was discovered, buried in the nave in front of what is now the chancel of Holy Trinity Church.

[9] A request to exhume the grave in Bosham church was refused by the Diocese of Chichester in December 2004, the Chancellor ruling that the chances of establishing the identity of the body as that of Harold Godwinson were too slim to justify disturbing a burial place.

Bosham was confirmed to be in the possession of Osbern, Bishop of Exeter, who had been granted the land by his kinsman, Edward the Confessor.

[18] The Holy Trinity Church is a historic building of some note – it has been in existence at least since Anglo-Saxon times, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book.

Also known as 'The Robins', the team play their home fixtures at Bosham's local recreation ground on Walton Lane.

The club also operates a reserve side, and youth team – known as the 'Bosham Cygnets', composed of local youngsters.
