William Gilbert (1799-1877) who was one of the boot and shoe makers to Rugby School, had a small shop in the high street but when William died, his nephew James succeeded him. James Gilbert (1831-1906) was much loved by the past and present Rugbians of his time.
The Webb Ellis Rugby Football Museum is an intriguing collection of Rugby football memorabilia is housed in the shop in which Gilbert's have made their world famous Rugby balls since 1842. Visitors can watch a craftsman at work, hand-stitching the footballs.
