5. History on the lake

According to the National Trust, the man-made lake at Clumber Park is one of its most recognizable features and has been a site for leisure for many years. The sixth Duke of Newcastle purchased a third-scale naval frigate named the Lincoln, which became a source of entertainment on the lake. When his son, the seventh Duke, acquired another large yacht called the Salamanca, they would hold mock naval battles with friends and family, using the gun battery onshore equipped with cannons. After the Duke’s death, the Lincoln fell into disuse and ultimately sank due to a fire that broke out on deck. Photo: Clumber Park NT
