Thrapston Bowls Club

Thrapston Bowls Club celebrated its centenary in 2008. For well over a hundred years the club has been an active and popular social and sporting amenity within the town.

The club was founded in 1908 at a time when working hours had been regulated to give people more leisure time. Bowls, along with other sports, became more popular and a more common sight in many communities.

Thrapston Bowls Club green was originally located in Chancery Lane in the vicinity of the present medical surgeries. Relocation to Market Road occurred in the late 1930's with the green sited where the car park is presently situated. The green shed there served as the original clubhouse.
