Welbeck Abbey (aerial 2013)
After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Welbeck Abbey Estate eventually became the principal family seat of the Dukes of Newcastle. In the 18th century, it passed through an heiress into the Bentinck family and became the seat of the Earls and Dukes of Portland.
In 1950 the Abbey was leased to the MoD and became home to Welbeck College, the Army's sixth-form school. This arrangement came to an end in 2005. The house then once more became a family home for Lady Anne Bentinck's nephew and family.
