context_page_description: The Dukeries is an area of the county of Nottinghamshire so called because it contained four ducal seats. It is south of Worksop, which has been called its "gateway". The ducal seats were:
  Worksop Manor: a home of the Dukes of Norfolk, and nearest to Worksop;
  Welbeck Abbey: seat of the Dukes of Portland;
  Thoresby Hall: seat of the Dukes of Kingston; and
  Clumber House: seat of the Dukes of Newcastle, since demolished.
  A fifth large country house, Rufford Abbey in this area belonged to the 2nd to 8th Savile baronets, their later-to-be ennobled heirs, then from 1888 until 1938 to 1st to 3rd Lords Savile. Welbeck Woodhouse is a further notable mansion, in the former park of Welbeck Abbey and was built by Lord Portland in the 1930s.
