Warsop Stebbing is a British sports equipment company, specialising in cricket equipment. The company is based in central Essex, still the main source of timber for bats around the world today.[1]
History[edit]
The company was founded in 1870 by Benjamin Warsop, The Warsop family has been hand making cricket bats since 1870 and have passed the craft down through the generations. It all began with Benjamin Warsop who moved from Nottingham to London to set up his Cricket Bat workshop in St Johns Wood, a stones though from Lords Cricket ground. Along with the help of his four sons; Alfred, Arthur, Frank and Walter.
In the mid-1980s, the company diversified into manufacturing the full range of Cricket equipment, including Cricket balls, clothing, footwear and protective equipment.
