Bosham (pronounced /b?z?m/) is a small coastal village and civil parish in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England, situated three miles (5 km) west of Chichester on an inlet of Chichester Harbour.
The parish has a land area of 1375 hectares (3397 acres). In the 2001 census 2847 people lived in 1313 households, of whom 1358 were economically active.
Bosham is colloquially divided into two halves: Old Bosham and New Bosham. New Bosham constitutes the more developed northern half of the village, situated around the A259 road and the railway line. The village is served by Bosham railway station. It is sometimes referred to by its increasingly obsolete original name, Broadbridge. Old Bosham includes the remaining geographical protrusion to the south. This includes the site of the original village around Bosham Harbour, as well as the tracts of farmland and private property of Bosham Hoe. At high tide the sea comes right into the old village, flooding the lower road and several car parking spaces.
Forming a part of Chichester Harbour, Bosham is renowned for its sailing. Bosham Sailing Club, formed in 1907, has recently celebrated its centenary.
