The first explanation is that the ancestral game was introduced to Britain from France during the reign of Charles II of England, and was played under the name of paille-maille or pall mall, derived ultimately from Latin words for " ball and mallet ".

In his 1810 book entitled The Sports and Pastimes of the People of England, Joseph Strutt describes the way pall mall was played in England in the early 17th century: " Pale-maille is a game wherein a round box ball is struck with a mallet through a high arch of iron, which he that can do at the fewest blows, or at the number agreed upon, wins.

In Samuel Johnson's 1828 dictionary, his definition of " pall mall " clearly describes a game with similarities to modern croquet: " A play in which the ball is struck with a mallet through an iron ring ".

However, there is no evidence that pall mall involved the croquet stroke which is the distinguishing characteristic of the modern game.

Regardless when and by what route it reached England and the British colonies in its recognizable form, croquet is, like pall mall, trucco, jeu de mail and kolven, clearly a derivative of ground billiards, which was popular in Western Europe back to at least the 14th century, with roots in classical antiquity.
