A brief history of Rugby School. At least two centuries of Rugby’s history are written in the stones and other monuments to tradition that stand around the School Close, where in 1823, local lad William Webb Ellis, with a fine disregard for the rules of football, took the ball in his arms and ran with it, originating the game of rugby football.
But Rugby is uniquely well-placed to make it, because it is right here that much of what is our Public School tradition started: the game of rugby, as well as fives; Tom Brown’s Schooldays; Rupert Brooke who talked to us of ‘laughter, learnt of friends’.
