Whilst the name pall mall and various games bearing this name may have been played elsewhere ( France and Italy ) the description above suggests that the croquet-like games were certainly popular in England as early as 1611.

Some early sources refer to pall mall being played over a large distance ( as in golf ), however an image in Strutt's 1801 book clearly shows a croquet-like ground billiards game ( balls on ground, hoop, bats and peg ) being played over a, garden-sized distance.
