Welbeck Abbey| House standing in a park of about 1200 ha/2964 acres, in Nottinghamshire, England, south of Worksop. It is the seat, though no longer the residence, of the Duke of Portland. It incorporates minor remains of a 12th-century priory, but its buildings date mainly from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, and are notable for the 19th-century underground rooms and passages built by the eccentric 5th Duke. |

No references found | Lady Anne used to have her horses trained privately at her home, Welbeck Abbey in Nottinghamshire. As Miss Worsley points out, a gentleman's 'household' was still 'the basic and most important unit of seventeenth-century society' even if it was not as large as in the Middle Ages The story is centred on the family's main home, Welbeck Abbey (a Premonstratensian Abbey before its destruction under Henry VIII) but goes on to include the family's other properties. At his Welbeck Abbey, Nottinghamshire retreat, he employed 15,000 men to dig huge tunnels under the house. |
