The Magnet once had its own bowling green besides it. Peter Foat
remembers. 'The little pavilion still had the named lockers for the members
of Ye Old Deale Bowling Club with their bowls still inside.'
Bowls was obvioulsy an important part of life for the earliest known
licensee, William Verrier, as Richard Verrier (relationship unknown at
present) had the "Bowling Green" at
the same time.
