Alwyn Road stretches south from Bilton village towards Dunchurch and is lined with a variety of mid-20th century house styles. According to the Rugby Local History Research Group (see http://www.rugby-local-history.org/index.php/component/content/article/86-civic/117-roads-a-i ) the road was named in 1934 after Alwyn Wootton Crowther who would have been a boy of 12 at the time. His father, however, Thomas Edward Crowther, an agent and building society branch manager, was elected to the first Rugby Borough Council in 1932 and owned part of the land on which the road was built.
