Yorkshire | North Yorkshire | Stately Homes and Gardens | Kiplin Hall

Kiplin Hall was the country seat of George Calvert, founder of Maryland, U.S.A., who built this handsome Jacobean Hall in a pretty vale between Richmond and Northallerton. From the 1620s, the Calverts, Crowes, Carpenters and Talbots, all related by blood or marriage, left their stamp on the house, altering buildings to suit their needs. Each family brought furnishings, paintings and personal possessions. Much of these collections remain, and the Hall’s interior is a fine example of a Victorian country house at the close of the 19th century, which also retains characteristics of its Jacobean beginnings.

Highlights include:

• Items acquired during the time of the Grand Tour
• Family portraits
• World War II kitchen
• Works by notable artists including Angelica Kauffman, Luca Carlevarijs, G.F. Watts and Joachim Beuckelaer
• Arts and Crafs items including work by William Morris and William de Morgan
