Amy Gowshall also known as Amy Monkhouse (born 20 March 1979, in Grimsby) is a English international lawn and indoor bowler.[1]

Gowshall won a bronze medal in the Women's pairs at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. In August 2002 she married and became Amy Monkhouse.[2]

In 2004 she won the gold medal in the fours with Jayne Christie, Jean Baker and Ellen Falkner at the 2004 World Outdoor Bowls Championship.[3]

She won a bronze medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games before representing England at the 2010 Commonwealth Games where she won, with Ellen Falkner, a gold medal in the woman's pairs competition.[4][5]

She has since reverted back to her birth name of Amy Gowshall.
