Welbeck Abbey, Nottinghamshire

Welbeck Abbey

Welbeck Abbey in the Dukeries in northern Nottinghamshire is a grand country house, long the seat of the Dukes of Portland (a title now extinct).

Originally this was the site of a monastery belonging to the Premonstratensian order, but after the Dissolution of the Monasteries it fell to the Crown and its estates sold to create the Welbeck Estate; one of four contiguous ducal estates in northern Nottinghamshire. (Read more)
