Phil and Karen
1. The land on which Kiplin Hall stands had originally been a monastic holding under Easby Abbey until the Dissolution of the Monasteries (1536-1541) when it passed to John Scrope, 8th Baron Scrope of Bolton.
2. Kiplin Hall, a Jacobean country house, was initially built as a hunting lodge 1622-1625 by George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore, Secretary of State to James 1 and Founder of Maryland USA.
3. George Calvert, together with his eldest son Cecil, planned the province of Maryland (now part of the United States). After the death of his father Cecil settled the colony in 1634 with a number of the adventurers coming from the Kiplin area. Calvert’s second son, Leonard, was the first colonial governor of the Province of Maryland. (The design of the Maryland state flag comes from the shield in the coat of arms of the Calvert Family).
4. Kiplin Hall has been home to four different families over its 400 year history. The Hall was requisitioned by the RAF during the Second World War (sadly, it was returned to the family in a dishevelled state - and they were left without recourse to compensation). It is now managed by the Kiplin Hall Trust.
5. The Library was built in 1820 in a Gothic Style. It contains over 2,500 books and many historic items - including Lord Nelson’s chair from HMS Victory.
6. The Dinning Room holds another, potentially more grisly, artefact from the past.
