Abstract:

Forty to fifty years ago, croquet games were played in historic Durant's Neck in Perquimans County. Most players were from the area and played Saturday and Sunday afternoons to crowded lawns of spectators. Expert audience members conferred with players, using an extensive vocabulary of croquet jargon was used. Young people could play for fun only during mornings and early afternoons, to allow for the adults' late afternoon contests.
