1815-09-01
By 1815 the Lewes bat-maker Cox — running his workshop from the High Street — had established himself as the principal Sussex supplier of cricket bats and balls. With William Small's Petersfield workshop continuing to dominate Hampshire and the home counties, Cox's emergence at Lewes confirmed the geographic spread of cricket equipment manufacture and the distinct Sussex style of bat — slightly straighter and lighter than the Petersfield model.
