The pub is found in Rugby, Warwickshire, CV21 3BW.

In High Street, only a stone's throw from these premises, Rugby School is the town's largest and best-known landmark. However, the original school stood opposite the parish church. Completed in 1574, it had its origins in the will of Lawrence Sheriff. Sheriff was a native of Rugby and purveyor of spices to Queen Elizabeth I. He left land and property for the foundation of four almshouses (since demolished) and a free grammar school for the education of boys in Rugby and Brownsover. By the mid 18th century, the old school buildings were dilapidated - and the school moved to the south end of High Street. When school fees were introduced, the Lawrence Sheriff Grammar School was founded to continue local boys' free education. The pub is housed in what was originally a 1930s Art Deco, Boots the Chemist building. Wetherspoon house 2009-2017 then taken over by Stream Development.

We have visited this pub once, seen 3 different beers and tried 1 of them.
