The first Witheridge Bowling Club was formed in 1914. A notice in the Tiverton Gazette of the 17th February 1914, reported that the Rev J P Benson had presided over a meeting of the Bowling Club committee at which rules were presented for discussion. They decided to get estimates for a pavilion, and to open their new ground after Easter. The new ground lay at the back of the Manse behind the Congregational Chapel, and was leased. At a further meeting on 31st March, tenders for rolling and cutting the ground twice a week were considered, and the lowest, of £5.5s.0d. from Mr Fred Leach, was accepted. It was reported that the Vicar had given timber for a pavilion and that Mr H Way had offered to erect it for out-of-pocket expenses. In April, 80 people attended a dance in the Assembly Rooms, raising £2 in aid of the new Bowling Club. In its history, the club included a number of County players; among them have been Mr Frank Lawrence, Mr Francis Venner, Mr Dick Cox and Mr W S Selley
