The original hamlet of Brownsover still exists, to the west of A426 "Leicester Road", 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'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, “Elliot’s Field” which is leisure and fashion centric, “Junction One” which has a 9 screen cinema and several shops and fast food outlets. “Technology Drive” is mainly home stores and DIY based. Elliot’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.

...Rugby is credited as the town that gave the inspiration for the modern Olympic Games, the invention of the laser, hologram and jet engine and enjoys a growing tourism economy as the council and other partners increase the promotion and marketing of the town which is the fastest growing in the West Midlands. London is only 54 minutes away by (non-stop) train, and the town is excellently positioned for the M1, M6 and A5 as well as the A45, A46 and DIRFT.
