==History== It is first recorded as Boschene in the 13th or 14th century, and the house was enlarged and altered in the 19th century. Boskenna was the home of the Paynter family for centuries and the oldest part of the Boskenna house dates from 1678 and now forms its northwest wing. The prominent Jacobite James Paynter was from a junior branch of the Paynters of Hayle that settled at Trekenning House in St Columb Major parish. His Paynter relatives at Boskenna were also known to be Jacobite sympathisers and in 1745 villagers at St Buryan were convinced that the Paynter family were harbouring Charles Edward Stuart (the Young Pretender).
