The Hungerford Club started its life as the Church House Club and Library in 1901. Some years later, in 1921, a Sports Section was established, including bowling green, croquet lawn and tennis courts.

The sports ground was laid out on land between The Croft and the canal. The plan was different from the modern layout, and two tennis courts can be seen on the site of the present-day bowling green. In the background can be seen the cottages at Strongrove Hill (including the ruins of one razed by fire). The three tall poplar trees are adjacent to Hungerford canal lock.

This section of the Virtual Museum is still under development.
