Earl of Portland is a title that has been created twice in the Peerage of England, firstly in 1633 and secondly in 1689.What proved to be a long co-held title, Duke of Portland, was created in 1716 and became extinct in 1990 upon the death of the ninth Duke, at which point the earldom passed to the most senior agnatic (solely male-line) cousin, namely one of the 6th degree.
The 5th Duke of Portland, who preferred to live in seclusion, had an elaborate underground maze excavated under his estate and undertook the most substantial building works at Welbeck. The kitchen gardens covered 22 acres (89,000 m 2 ) and were surrounded by high walls with recesses in which braziers could be placed to hasten the ripening of fruit.
