Description
This week is National Croquet Week, and to celebrate, we’re taking a look back at the lawn games and sports that have been played at our historic sites. From croquet and bowling lawns, to cricket pitches, tennis courts, and even golf courses, our sites have hosted a surprising variety of sports, with many continuing to be played today. Joining us to reveal more are English Heritage landscape advisor, Emily Parker, and sport historian Simon Inglis.
