World Cup celebrated with knitted England display in Studley

Miniature recreations of England footballers have been put on display on top of a village’s postbox to mark the 2026 World Cup.

Woollen versions of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford have been made by knitting enthusiasts in the Warwickshire village of Studley.

The artwork from The Studley Stitchers features an England shirt and the three players, all standing on a circular grassy patch holding white footballs, with four more at Kane’s feet.

Group member Jan Platt told BBC Radio CWR scores will be kept by adding a knitted ball to the display everytime a player gets a goal.

She said she had wanted to do something different to having a load of footballers hugging each other.

“I just thought the England shirt at the back would set it all off as a backdrop and then we needed something to keep score.”
