A HISTORIC stately home is on the lookout for trustees to be involved in its future development.

Kiplin Hall, near Scorton, is recruiting trustees to join the board which oversees management of the house.

With the support of Heritage Lottery Funding, the hall is looking to enhance the service and experience offered to visitors.

The house was built in the 1620s for George Calvert, secretary of state to James I and founder of the US state of Maryland.

A member of the Historic Houses Association, the house and gardens are open to visitors and recently featured in Tony Robinson’s highly acclaimed Coast to Coast television series.

The board want trustees who offer skills and experience in finance, business, managing visitor attractions and curation/collections management.
