Memories of Rushden Hall by Mr. J. Enos Smith taken from an article in the Rushden Echo and Argus, 4 April 1930

May I recall one memory? It was an occasion when I wished to see the old Squire, the late Mr. Frederick Urban Sartoris.  I was shown into the front hall. The squire was standing near the large log fire in his hunting suit, with scarlet coat, the fine old carved mantelshelf at the back of him; he, with his whip in his hand, just returned from hunting;  the old spinet close by (which, of course, attracted my attention and was afterwards played to me by Mrs. Craven, then Miss Sartoris), the beautiful window seats and the views of the park.  Mr. Sartoris was a fine specimen of an English gentleman.
