Bowls (also known as Lawn Bowls or Lawn Bowling) is a precision sport where the goal is to roll slightly radially asymmetrical balls (called bowls) closer to a smaller white ball (the "jack" or "kitty") than one's opponent is able to do. It is related to bocce and pétanque.

Frederick Hervey was born in 1730, became Bishop of Derry in 1768 and, on the death of his brother Augustus in 1778, inherited an Earldom. He built three great houses, including the one at Downhill close to Mussenden Temple. The house at Downhill was started in 1775 and was a wonderful building in its hey day with "as many windows as there are days in the year". Inside was a huge library, walls painted with frescoes and a large collection of paintings hung in the corridors, including works by Vandyke, Raphael and Tintoretto. However, there was a disastrous fire in 1851 and the library and many of the statues were destroyed.
