The Grove and Rufford held their annual Point to Point meeting at Welbeck near Worksop on the 2nd March 2008. Welbeck Abbey was once one of the richest in England.  Following Henry VIII's dissolution, it eventually came into the ownership of William Cavendish, grandson of Bess of Hardwick.  Eventually the family acquired the title of Duke of Portland, and stories of the reclusive 5th Duke, who built numerous underground tunnels, abound.
