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.

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.

Excellent as always in both the information as well as the images to illustrate the story.

I just can't imagine the logic behind giving someone a piece of wood from the chopping block on which someone was beheaded. Grisly indeed.

Thanks for sharing everything....including the grisly....very interesting history indeed.

Hi Bryan,

Cheers - appreciated!

The chopping block was alarming enough, but they had it displayed in the dinning room which left us even more bewildered.

This was another short stop-off on a long journey (up to Beamish in fact), which held more history than we had appreciated.

Thanks Phil for another wonderful set of images and a great history lesson. Though I must admit that possessing a section of the executioner's chopping block is a little morbid.

Hi Mike,

Cheers - much appreciated!


The block was definitely left field - not helped by its display siting.

(If the family assertion is indeed correct, we suspect King Charles I wasn't particularly impressed by this object either).


We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the rest of the show though...
