Kiplin Hall is a wonderful Jacobean country house, built in 1620 for George Calvert, Secretary of State to King James I. Calvert later became the 1st Lord Baltimore, and founded the American colony of Maryland. In many ways, Kiplin Hall is unique among houses of the Jacobean period, with domed towers on each side flanking a central pavilion, instead of the more common corner towers.

Sewerby Hall is a stately home situated in the little village of Sewerby, just east of Bridlington. The house stands on a rise above the nearby cliffs and is set within 50 acres of parks and gardens. There had been a house here as early as the medieval period, but the elegant home we see today is a result of an almost complete rebuilding by John Greame from 1714-1720.
