I did consider Hunt but discounted him as I wasn't sure if Holman was a Christian name or part of a double barrelled surname. I see it's the former.

Ok, as no-one else is guessing atm, I'll have a go to keep things going - is there a diminutives of names group in there? :?

Jack (John / Jacob)
Dick (Richard)
Kitty (Catherine)
Henry (Heimeric)

One relates to a film series.

Carry On films: Constable, Henry, Abroad, Dick ?

That's it. :D

With Jack as a red herring for that group. And Constable a red herring for the artists group.
:D

So does that mean Bowl, Wood, Kitty and Jack is a Lawn Bowls group? :?

Now SG19 has done the heavy lifting, I've spotted the last group:

Destroy = Jason Roy. Gladstone = Olly Stone. Mali = Moeen Ali. Driftwood = Mark Wood.

Gladstone threw me when the wall was newly posted - I thought it was to do with former bowler Gladstone Small. :)

Yep. That's the last two groups solved.
Well done both of you. :D

The lawn bowls one was four different words for the balls - Jack and kitty for the smaller 'white' ball, bowl and wood for the others. As you can probably tell, I'm not an expert on the sport. :)

Jack was a red herring for the Carry On group, bowl and wood a little bit of a hint to the hidden cricket group.

While, Abroad, was a 5th option for the England cricketers.

And the woods are carried in little Gladstone bags.

Grey. Grenville. Balfour. Pelham. Former UK Prime Ministers (though your Pelham Grenville Woodhouse [not the proper Wodehouse of course!] did almost set me off down another route!).

I guess you celebrated International Women’s Day this week, as there is a Jane Austen group:
Emma Woodhouse, eponymous heroine of Austen's novel Emma.
Fanny Price heroine of Mansfield Park.
Elizabeth Bennett, heroine of Pride and Prejudice.
Catherine Morland, heroine of Northanger Abbey.

Yeah, I couldn't resist that. :)

That's the first group solved:
UK Prime Ministers - Grey. Grenville. Balfour. Pelham
:lol:

Thanks guys - never heard of them either. :D
