Proximity to the major cities of Manchester and Sheffield and the counties of Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Staffordshire and South and West Yorkshire, coupled with easy access by road and rail, have contributed to its popularity.

Building a Family: William Cavendish, First Duke of Newcastle, and the Construction of Bolsover and Nottingham Castles
Chap 5 10/12/04 12:20 pm Page 233 Building a Family: William Cavendish, First Duke of Newcastle, and the Construction of Bolsover and Nottingham Castles Introduction Bolsover Castle, overlooking the Doe Lea valley in Derbyshire, and Nottingham Castle, overlooking its city, are among the most dramatic of seventeenth- century great houses. This article proposes an explanation for the re-building of these two medieval castles that is based upon the social circumstances of the family and household responsible for the work. Separated by sixty years, the two buildings appear to be very different yet share the same remarkable patron. William Cavendish (1593–1676) became Viscount Mansfield, then Earl, Mar- quis and finally Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.1 He is celebrated for his extrav- agant entertainments for Charles I in 1633 and 1634 and his governorship of Prince Charles, the future Charles II. In 1618, he married a local heiress, Elizabeth Bassett, who became the mother of his children before dying in 1643. William was commander of the king’s army in the north during the Civil War and went into exile for fifteen years after losing the battle of Marston Moor in 1644. His second marriage took place in Paris in 1645, to Margaret Lucas, lady in waiting to Henrietta Maria and also a prolific writer.2 He lived in Antwerp, where he wrote his famous book on horsemanship, until 1660. At the Restoration, he returned to live mainly at his family home at Welbeck Abbey in Nottinghamshire until his death in 1676. The Little Castle at Bolsover was begun by William’s father Charles Cavendish (1553–1617) and William himself added interior decoration and further buildings on the site.
