Bodenham was the eldest of the five children of William Bodnam, a London grocer, and Katherine Wanton of York. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School.[1]
According to Arthur Henry Bullen in the Dictionary of National Biography, Bodenham did not himself edit any of the Elizabethan miscellanies attributed to him by bibliographers. He simply projected the publication of them and befriended their editors.[2]
