As part of Nene Valley Festival Week, on Wednesday 14 September, 2022 we will be offering a Tour of Rushden Hall with Clive Wood, followed by tea/coffee and cake in the Hall. The tour lasts about an hour.
Learn about the history of the Hall and the families who have lived there, including the Pembertons (1461-1641) and the Sartoris family who lived in the Hall from 1843 to 1929. The Hall and grounds were bought by Mr. Morris Wheeler of Bexley, Kent, who then sold it to Rushden Urban District Council for £5,000. The Hall Park was opened to the public in September 1930.
