"Today, the historically reconstructed Commissary holds a treasure trove of
traditional handcrafts made by dozens of area artisans; British Isles foods,
games and prints; Rugby and area history and travel books; Victoriana of every
description and much more. Next door to the Commissary, Historic Rugby has
reconstructed the Board of Aid to Land Ownership building. It's now home to
Hodgkins Art & Antique Shop on the first floor and the Rugby Archive & Research
Centre on the second. Butch Hodgkins specializes in beautiful watercolors of
Rugby and area buildings, people and scenes."
