Bosel was a medieval Bishop of Worcester.
He was consecrated bishop in 680. In c. 685, Bosel founded the Royal Grammar School Worcester (now RGS Worcester and The Alice Ottley School), which is the oldest school of its type in the United Kingdom.[citation needed] He was also the head of Worcester Cathedral when it was founded.
He resigned the see in 691 and died sometime after that date.[1]
