Kiplin Hall is a Jacobean historic house at Kiplin in North Yorkshire, England, and a Grade I listed building. It stands by the River Swale in the Vale of Mowbray. Kiplin Hall is rich in education, in architecture and art, a museum of history, a gallery and provides a biographical record of its past English country house owners.〔 〕 The nearest villages are Scorton, Great Langton and Bolton-on-Swale. ==Seventeenth century founding== The house was built sometime during 1622–1625 for George Calvert,〔 〕 Secretary of State to James I, who later became first Lord Baltimore and founder of Maryland in what is now part of the United States. Initially built as a hunting lodge it was a slightly rectangular building fashioned of red brick with diamond patterning known as diapering formed from blue-black headers incorporated into the brick bond. Kiplin had four towers, which unusually, were not placed at the corners of the structure, but at the centre of each of the four walls - the north and south towers containing staircases, whilst the east and west comprised part of the rooms in which they were contained. At the summit of each tower is an ogee dome.〔〔〔 〕〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kiplin Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
