First post so be gentle with me, been lurking for months and finally plucked up courage to post!
I used to work at Welbeck College before they relocated, I have been in the tunnels and the underground ballroom and they are unique. I believe Lady Ann does live in the house you can see as you drive over Cuckney Hill. She did sometimes attend the Passing Out Parades and the Summer balls held at the end of term. Her nephew lived in half the main Abbey house which also housed some of the students and staff (I heard he was a bit of a naturist but never actually witnessed it).
It would cost a fortune to turn any of the buildings into apartments the whole place was dropping to bits. I would like to have seen it transformed into a hotel/spa, there is a lake and gorgeous grounds for relaxing in.
