The James Gilbert Rugby Football Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The James Gilbert Rugby Football Museum is a rugby football museum in the town centre of Rugby in Warwickshire, near Rugby School.
The museum is housed in the building where the shoe and boot maker James Gilbert made the first rugby ball in 1842.
The museum is packed with much rugby memorabilia, including the original Richard Lindon (inventor of the "oval" rugby ball, rubber bladder and brass hand pump) Brass Hand pump and is popular with rugby fans. Traditional handmade rugby balls are still made at the museum.
