time of the Domesday survey, when St Petrock held the See also:manor of Bodmin, wherein were sixty-eight houses and one market. To successive priors, as See also:mesne lords, it also owed its earliest municipal privileges. King See also:John's charter to the prior and See also:convent, dated the 17th of See also:July 1199, contained a clause (subsequently cancelled by See also:Richard II.) by which burgesses were exempt from being impleaded, touching any tenements in their See also:demesne, except before the king and his See also:chief See also:justice. Richard of Cornwall, king of the See also:Romans, confirmed to the burgesses their gild See also:merchant, See also:Edward I. the pesage of tin, and Edward II. a market for tin and See also:wool. See also:Queen See also:Elizabeth in 1563 constituted the town a See also:free borough and the burgesses a See also:body corporate, granting at the same time two fairs and a Saturday market. There are still held also three other fairs whose origin is uncertain. An amended charter granted in 1594 remained in force until 1789, when the See also:corporation became See also:extinct owing to the diminution of the burgesses. By virtue of a new charter of See also:incorporation granted in 1798 and remodelled by the See also:act of 1835, the corporation now consists of a mayor, four aldermen and twelve councillors.
The first members for Bodmin were summoned in 1295. Retaining both its members in 1832, losing one in 1868 and the other in 1885, it has now become merged in the south-eastern division of the county. From 1715 to 1837 the assizes were generally held alternately at See also:Launceston and Bodmin; since 1837 they have been held at Bodmin only. A See also:court of See also:probate has also been held at Bodmin since 1773. A festival known as " Bodmin See also:Riding " was formerly celebrated here on the See also:Sunday and See also:Monday following St Thomas's See also:day (July 7). It is thought by some to have been instituted in 1177 to celebrate the recovery of the bones of St Petrock.
