Gray-Nicolls
Says it began 1855Where Robertsbridge, East Sussex (production); Cambridge (origin)

Grays was a manufacturer of rackets and cricket bats based in Cambridge and established in 1855. They famously supplied to the likes of King George VI and Ranjitsinjh. Nicolls was an independent cricket bat maker in Robertsbridge, East Sussex who provided bats for WG Grace and CB Fry. In this new partnership, Gray-Nicolls continued to thrive. Willow is grown and felled at one of our plantations before being brought to Robertsbridge where production begins. Our team of experts are fully involved in the whole process, from planting, maintaining and the eventual felling of the tree.
