Croquet has a long history that encompasses France where it was thought to have originated and called 'jeu de mail', Ireland who is credited with its modern form, Scotland where it has been mentioned with a golf connection, England where it became a craze in the early nineteenth century and there's a Wimbledon connection. These days it is popular around the world.
