A short history of Rugby
Early Iron Age settlement existed around Rugby and the Roman town of Tripontium stood on Watling Street about 3.4 miles north-east of the present town. The Anglo-Saxons took over the small settlement around 560 AD and the Domesday Book of 1086 recorded it as Rocheberie. St Andrew's Church was first mentioned in 1140 and became a parish church in 1221. In 1255 Henry de Rokeby, who held the manor, obtained a charter for a weekly market. Lawrence Sheriff left money in his will that led to the founding of Rugby School in 1567. Rugby had 160 houses in 1663 and 415 by 1831, as the school's reputation drew families to settle. Of 122 listed buildings, the Chapel at Rugby School is Grade I and 13 are Grade II*, including the War Memorial Chapel at Rugby School and the Church of St Mary the Virgin.
