Farmer of the bowling? (5)
I believe the answer is:
giles
'farmer of the bowling?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for giles that I've seen before include "Carl _____, newspaper cartoonist" , "Farmer --- of Ham (Tolkien)" , "Boy's name" , "Sir - Gilbert Scott, English architect" , "-- Coren; -- Brandreth" .)
