Rugby, in the Midlands county of Warwickshire, is a town whose name is likely to ring a bell, perhaps primarily because of the sport to which it has lent its name.
The official date of Rugby's formation as a settlement is not known for certain, but by the end of the 11th century most Midlands villages had evolved into systems of open fields surrounding central settlements, which served as marketplaces.
Although Rugby was granted its market charter in 1255, it is safe to assume that Rugby would have been well developed before the lord of the manor invested his money in obtaining a charter.
