The Location
The original hamlet of Brownsover still exists, to the west of A426
"e;Leicester Road"e;, where Brownsover Hall is
situated. This country house was rebuilt in the Victorian era by
the Ward-Boughton-Leigh family, who donated to Rugby School, the
ground where William Webb Ellis first ran with a football.
Brownsover is also where Frank Whittle developed the jet engine in
the 1930s. The hall has now become a large hotel and conference
centre. The hamlet also contains an old house which is where it is
believed Lawrence Sheriff (c. 1510-1567), the founder of Rugby
School, was born.
Rugby
Rugby‘s economy is mainly industrial and distribution. It is an
engineering centre and has a long history of producing gas and
steam turbines at the GEC and at the AEI. The AEI was earlier
British Thomson-Houston or BTH. They used to dominate employment in
the town. They are now amalgamated to form Alstom. Engineering in
Rugby is still the most important sector. There are three new
retail parks, â--Elliotâ--s Fieldâ-- which is leisure and fashion
centric, â--Junction Oneâ-- which has a 9 screen cinema and several
shops and fast food outlets. â--Technology Driveâ-- is mainly home
stores and DIY based. Elliotâ--s Field has launched a second phase
with more big names to compliment the existing retailers. There are
many excellent schools In Rugby including grammar school (Lawrence
Sherrif), Girls School, Ashlawn School and of course the world
famous Rugby School where the modern game of Rugby was born.
