Six player Cheltenham Set

The Jaques family have supplied eight or six player croquet sets to most of England’s stately homes over the years, and this set has a special claim to fame as it was this model that Lady Diana Spencer was given as a wedding present on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Charles, after she had put it on her wedding list.

The Cheltenham croquet Set has six competition mallets; three Challenge models with Rockwood heads scored on the striking faces, with hickory gripped handles, and three Oxford models fitted with brass rings, made of English sports ash; all reflecting the fine quality of all Jaques of London croquet equipment. There are six scored, matched Challenge balls, and a set of the special heavyweight Hampton hoops which closely mimic the weight of Association competition hoops. The hoop smasher mallet helps drive the hoops into position after their sites have been carefully watered. There is a six player coloured, gold lined competition winning post with a fitted top peg which accommodates the six hoop clips which are attached to the hoops during play to record a players progress round the court. The colourful steel corner flags set off the court beautifully, and the ball markers record a balls position. Jaques instruction booklet 'The Basic Rules of Croquet', which also has much tactical advice and historical information completes the set. The set is presented in an authentic green coloured natural pine box with steel plated reinforced corners, lockdown enamelled metal closures, and a tanned leather Jaques' logo. This lovely six player Cheltenham croquet set will grace and enhance any beautiful lawn.
