The Rugby Rural District was a former rural district in Warwickshire, England. The district covered the rural areas surrounding the town of Rugby, where the district council was based, but did not include Rugby itself which was administered separately. The district was created in 1894. In 1932 its boundaries were significantly altered. The district was expanded to include the whole of the abolished Monks Kirby Rural District, parts of the abolished Foleshill Rural District and parts of the abolished Nuneaton Rural District. It also briefly included Bulkington, but in 1938 this merged with the Bedworth Urban District. At the same time it lost some territory as Rugby's town boundaries were expanded. On 1 April 1974 the district was abolished and merged with the Rugby municipal borough (which covered the town of Rugby) to form the present Borough of Rugby.

Hungerfield is a hamlet in the parish of Easenhall in the borough of Rugby in the County of Warwickshire in England. Hungerfield is a small collection of four houses roughly located around bridge 35 of the North Oxford Canal in Easenhall. It is believed that the place gets its name from the clay soil it inhabits.There is no record of Hungerfield's existence as a place prior to the Enclosure of the 1700s; it is believed to have been created as part of the enclosure of Easenhall undertaken by the Skipwith family. There is no record of when this was carried out but evidence from a number of sources suggest sometime around 1760. Prior to this the area had operated the Open-field system of which evidence remains. Many of the surrounding fields have much of the traditional ridge and furrow pattern surviving under the current pasture.The first written record of Hungerfield as a place comes from a survey by the Oxford Canal Company in 1829. The company commissioned the survey to show land ownership for the company's canal shortening programme.
