Withielgoose or Withel-goose is a hamlet in Cornwall, England, UK. Withielgoose, from the Cornish gwyth (trees), yel (origin unknown) and coes (wood) suggests the clearance of woodland to create agricultural land.[1] The hamlet is accessed via Withielgoose Lane and contains Withielgoose Manor.[2] Withielgoose belongs historically to the parish of Withiel along with Retire and Tregawne; the parish had a total population of about 300 in 1824.[3]

Withielgoose Manor belonged to Bodmin Priory and previously to William I by the Earl of Cornwall under the church of St Petroc at Bodmin.[4] It was leased by the crown in 1539 to Richard Kendall, and, in 1588, granted in fee-farm to Richard Branthwayte and Roger Bromley. It then was occupied by the Coswarth family followed by the Vyvyan family who still owned it in the early 1800s.[5]
