Yes, our bats do grow on trees! Salix Caerulea to be precise.
Every year we produce and supply over twenty thousand
cricket bats worldwide. The shape of the cricket bat has
evolved over the years from the original `hockey stick`
to the modern familiar shape. There is no weight limit for
a bat, in the 18th century bats of over 5lb. were in use
and in the 19th.century 4lb. was a common weight.
A bat inscribed J.C.1729 is kept at The Oval and is
the oldest surviving bat, unless you know of an
older one!

County bats were first made at St. Neots in
Huntingdonshire by the Trimmins family in 1904.
Production continued here until the factory moved to
Huntingdon in 1983. The craftsmen from St. Neots are
still making bats at Huntingdon which enables us to use
the slogan 'bats made for centuries'. Our bats are still
made in the traditional way in order to get the best
possible bat from the selected materials. It is for this
reason that County Bats are sought after all over the
world and are available wherever cricket is played.
