Arrival of the Prince at Clumber, 1861. Creator: Unknown. Arrival of the Prince at Clumber, 1861. The future King Edward VII is a guest at a stately home in Nottinghamshire. We give from the Sheffield and Rotherham Independent some particulars of Clumber, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle: "Clumber is a beautiful mansion, situated on the bank of the River Idle, about four miles beyond Worksop. It is by no means an ancient ducal residence, having only been founded when the Cavendish estates, including Welbeck, passed to the Bentincks. The park on its present scale of magnificence was designed and laid out about a hundred years ago by the ninth Earl of Lincoln, the great-grandfather of the present owner, and is about a dozen miles in circumference...The house, which is in the Doric and Corinthian style of architecture, adjoins the river at the point where it is but beginning to expand into a lake. It has three fronts, looking west, south, and east. The west facade commands a beautiful view of the more elevated side of the park...In the centre of the south or principal front is a light Ionic colonnade, which forms one of the most pleasing features of the building'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
