RUGBY RE-VISITED

Grant made a return visit to Rugby School in Warwick shire once again on a YR 12 class trip.

A pilgrimage for Grant to the home of Rugby but once again forgot the ball for the game of touch with the lads.
The commemorative plaque of William Web Ellis running with the ball.Head of P.E Rick Birch sitting at the desk of Thomas Hugh's author of "Tom Brown School Days". A testament of Rugby School's sense of tradition as any other school would have thrown the old thing out by now.
If you've read "Tom Brown" you'll understand the significance of the "Birching Room" at the top of this tower in the main building.
