The Bowls England National Championships (Men's Singles Four Wood) is one of the events at the annual Bowls England National Championships.[1]

The Four Wood singles is the traditional variation of the game, see - Glossary of bowls terms.

The 1908 final was started at the Upper Clapton greens but was suspended with Knight leading 14-7 following the death of the skip during the fours event. The final resumed at the Streatham Constitutional Club the following day.[2]
