He is further remembered in the William Webb Ellis Museum, for lovers of all things rugby-themed. A walk through the town will allow you to visit the Pathway of Fame and its plaques commemorating many of the sport's stars. Another famous inventor was born in Rugby - Sir Francis Whittle, who invented the jet engine in the town during the 1930s. One other famous son is the poet Rupert Brooke who attended the local Rugby school and whose sculpture can be seen in Jubilee Park.
