Henry VIII was also a lawn bowler. However, he banned the game for those who were not wealthy or
"well to do" because "Bowyes, Fletchers, Stringers and Arrowhead makers" were spending more time
at recreational events such as bowls instead of practicing their trade. Henry requested that anybody
who wished to keep a green pay a fee of 100 pounds
