There's little written evidence as to why our green was built in location it is and who the green was used by in the years between the creation of the green in 1554 and the formation of the current bowling club in 1912. Despite the lack of detailed evidence there can be little doubt that the Falcon bowling green is one of the oldest greens still in use.
The first reference to the green was in1554 when the Jerningham family of Northfold (in County of Norfolk, ) who were at that time also the Lords of the manor of Painswick laid down a bowling green and cockpit at the rear of The Falcon Inn, which at that time was used as a guest house to serve the Manor.

Ours girls Julie and Katie taking part in the Gloucestershire Youth Bowls Academy Taster Day at Suffolk Square this summer. The coaches running the event were very impressed by the way the girls performed. Falcon has new shirts for next season! We also for the first time have shirt sponsorship with Painswick's own Goddards Garage agreeing to generously support the club.
We have quiz nights once a month during the closed season. We've had some great evenings with 30/40 people taking part. We always have great food, a great raffle and a great laugh! We also have club nights every Monday and "meet up's" every Friday afternoon during the summer. Target bowls and the Ladies v Men's fancy dress "friendly" are also great fun.
