... The gateway to the Lake District from the south is Kendal, marked as we approach it by the ruins of Kendal Castle crowning a hill to the right. Kendal is an interesting old town with memories of Border warfare. Of its ancient houses the most curious is one in Wildman Street called the 'Castle Dairy.' This is typical of what most houses in Kendal were formerly like - built with an eye on the need for defence. Its walls are of great thickness and the house is provided with hiding places. The church is notable chiefly for its monuments, including one to a seventeenth-century vicar with a quaint rhyming inscription. | ||

THE order in which the Lakes should be visited, if seen in any prescribed order at all, can be pointed out much more easily than satisfactorily. Lancaster and Kendal in the south, Carlisle and Penrith in the north, formerly offered the readiest facilities of access to this Northern Elysium; but since the improvement of steam navigation, Whitehaven and other ports have become equally suitable as starting places. One advantage, however, remains in favour of the old routes, that the direct lines are better, especially for carriages, although to the pedestrian this will not be a matter of any great importance. | ||

KENDAL, | ||
The largest town in Westmorland, seated on the west side of the river Kent, beneath a lofty scar, opposite to the ruins of the ancient castle. It is intersected by four principal streets, one of which runs north and south, forming a busy thoroughfare of one mile in length, and leading to the Lakes. The houses are built of limestone, capable of receiving a high polish, and covered with slate. The town, although very ancient, has now a modern appearance, nearly all the old houses having been | ||
Page 20:- | ||
rebuilt, and many new streets erected during late years. The whiteness of the houses is greatly enlivened by the number of poplars which grow about them, the long range of hanging gardens on the west, and the sloping meads and plantations on the east, where the Kent washes the skirts of the town, and is crossed by three good bridges. The completion of the canal to Lancaster, in 1819, gave a powerful impulse to the building spirit of the inhabitants, ... | ||

Kendal was governed by a corporation formerly | ||
Page 22:- | ||
consisting of a mayor, recorder, alderman, and capital burgesses. By the recent Municipal act, it is divided into three wards, under the superintendence of a mayor, six aldermen, and eighteen councilmen. By the Reform bill, the town returns one member to Parliament. It was formerly noted for coarse woollen goods, called Kendal cottons, but goods of finer description are now more commonly manufactured. The river Kent affords plenty of water for its numerous mills and dye-houses. There are also very extensive marble works. As the country people for many miles around attend the markets and fairs, the town thus combines the character of a manufacturing place, with that of the centre of a rich agricultural district. | ||
Kendal can also boast of being furnished with schools and charitable institutions, as numerously and liberally endowed as any town of equal population. Indeed, in this respect, the county of Westmorland exceeds all others, owing chiefly to the number of clever and eminent men who have distinguished themselves, and have sought to return back to their native county some portion of those benefits which they themselves derived from it. | ||

Is a clean and well built town, of considerable trade, and a population of 11,301 inhabitants. It is situate at the junction of the Carlisle road by Penrith, with the Whitehaven road by Ambleside, Keswick, and Cockermouth. It is famous for the manufacture of various kinds of woollen goods and fancy waistcoats. Here is a manufactory of ivory combs; and a marble manufactory, where several varieties of the limestone of the country are worked and polished. The King's Arms and Commercial are the principal Inns. | ||

At the approach to Kendal, where I made my sketch for the plan of that town - It deceitfully appears to be situated in a secure valley, contiguous to which, on a hill to the right, are the ruins of the castle. Another similar eminence, ornamented with an obelisk, is called Castlebow Hill. From either of these may be obtained the most complete view of the adjacent river Kent, and surrounding country, and as many deep valleys are comprehended in this prospect, the apparent situation of the town, by a comparison with them, rises to a greater eminence. It is very ancient, and still retains several British and Roman remains. Here were early planted some of our most productive manufactories, particularly those of woollen cloths, cottons, and stockings, which have since branched so widely and profitably to other pasrt of the kingdom. Queen Elizabeth erected the town into a corporation; and Charles the First confirmed and enlarged the charter. It hath a mayor, 12 aldermen, and 20 capital burgesses. It is recorded by a Latin inscription on the wall of the vestry in the church at Penrith, that 2500 people died here in 1598, of the plague. The market, inns, and principal shops of trade are on the highest ground, near half a mile from the entrance of the town; from thence to the north is another street of nearly the same length; another leads by similar distance to cross the river Kent on the eastward, and by means of this latter the post road is continued to Shap. | ||

about 7,000, chiefly engaged in manufacturing of linseys, worsted stockings woven and knit, and a coarse woollen cloth called cottons, sent to Glasgow and thence to Virginia for the use of the negroes. These manufactures employ great quantities of wool from Durham and Scotland. As early as Richard II. and Henry IV. we find special laws enacted on purpose for the regulating of Kendale-clothes. Kendal has a large weekly market. Elizabeth a. r. 18 erected it into a corporation by the name of aldermen and burgesses. Charles I. incorporated it with a mayor, 12 aldermen, and 20 burgesses. This charter was surrendered to Charles II. who regranted it with a few alterations. ... The parish comprehends 24 townships or constablewicks, and was antiently larger. ... A chapel of ease was erected 1754, by the legacy of the most benevolent Dr. Stratford, commissary of the archdeaconry of Richmond, with the residue of whose property 58 small livings were augmented in this and adjoining counties, and other charities performed. ... | ||
Charles Stuart 3d son of James duke of York after king James II. was created duke of Kendal 1664. Prince George of Denmark was created duke of Cumberland and earl of Kendal; and Melusina Erengart Schulenburg, who had before been created duchess of Munster in Ireland, was further honoured with the title of duchess of Kendal, countess of Glassenbury, and countess of Faversham. | ||
Kendal gave birth to Dr. Barnaby Potter bishop of Chester, Dr. Christopher Potter, provost of Queen's college, Oxford, and Dr. Thomas Shaw the traveller and principal of Edmund hall. | ||

... on whose [River Can] western banks is the populous town of Candale or Kirkeby Candale, q.d. the church in the valley on the Can, with two long streets intersecting each other, and eminent for its woollen manufacture, and the industry of its inhabitants, who carry on a great trade in woollen cloth all over England, and esteem it their highest honour that they have had barons and earls of their own. The first of these are descended from Ivo Taleboys, of whose posterity William by leave of Henry II. styled himself William of Lancaster, whose niece and heiress married Gilbert Fitz Roger Fitz Reinfrid, by whose daughters on the death of his son William, the estate passed to Peter Brus second lord of Skelton of that Christian name, and William Lindesay, from whom Ingelram lord of Coucy in France derived his descent by the mother's side as we find in the history of Forness abbey. By a daughter of this Peter Brus, sister and heir of Peter Brus the 3d, this barony came to the Rosses of Werke, and from them this honour devolved by inheritance on the Parrs, whose castle overagainst the town is now decaying with age. I find three earls, John duke of Bedford, so created by his brother king Henry V. John duke of Somerset and John de Foix of the illustrious family of Foix in France, whom Henry VI. advanced to this dignity for his faithful services in the French wars; whence it probably comes that some of this family of Foix in France are still called Candale. I know no other claim that Kendal has to antiquity. I once, indeed, imagined that it was the Roman station CONCANGIOS, but time has better informed me. ... | ||

The approach to it from the north is pleasant. A noble river, the Kent, is discovered flowing briskly through fertile fields, and visiting the town in its whole length. It is crossed by a handsome bridge, where three great roads coincide, from Sedbergh, Kirkby-Stephen, and Penrith. The main street leading from the bridge slopes upwards to the centre of the town, and contracts itself into an inconvenient passage, [2] where it joins another principal street, which falls with a gentle declivity both ways, and is a mile in length, and of spacious breadth. Was an area for a market-place opened at the incidence of these two streets, it would be a noble improvement. The entrance from the south is by another bridge, which makes a short awkward turn into the suburbs, but after that, the street opens well, and the town has a chearful appearance. The principal inns are genteel, commodious, and plentifully served. | ||
Here is a workhouse for the poor, which for neatness and oeconomy exceeds most of the kind in the kingdom. | ||

The objects most worthy of notice here are the manufactories. The chief of these are of Kendal cottons (a coarse woollen cloth) of linseys, toilonets, kerseymeres, callicoes, and of knit worsted stockings. Also a considerable tannery is carried on in this town. The less (sic) manufactures are, of fish hooks, of waste silk (which is received from London, and after scouring, combing, and spinning, is returned) of ivory combs, and of wool cards, in which branch considerable improvements have been made by the curious machines invented here for that purpose. There are other articles of industry well worth seeing; as the mills for scouring, fulling, and frizing cloth, for cutting and rasping dying wood, &c. But what is most to the credit of this place, is, that notwithstanding many inconveniences, which this town has laboured under, the manufactures have all along continued to flourish, and have of late years been greatly increased by the spirit and industry of the inhabitants. These manufactures are particularly noticed so early as the reign of King Richard II, and Henry IV. when special laws were enacted for the better regulation of Kendal-cloths, &c. | ||

When William the Conqueror gave the barony of Kendal to Ivo de Taillebois, the inhabitants of the town were villain-tenants of the baronial lord; but one of his successors emancipated them, and confirmed their burgages to them, by charter. Queen Elizabeth, in the 18th year of her reign, erected it into a corporation, by the name of aldermen and burgesses; and afterwards King Charles I. incorporated it with a mayor, 12 aldermen, and 20 capital burgesses. | ||

Kendal, called also Kirkby Candale, i.e. a Church in the Valley upon the River Can, over which it has two Bridges of Stone, and one of Wood, and a Harbour for Boats. Dr. Gale thinks it to be the Brovonaca of Antoninus, and allows that it was the Station of the Romans, called Concangi; but both these Points are disputed. 'Tis much superior to Appleby in Trade, Buildings, and the Number and Wealth of the Inhabitants, and is indeed the largest Town in the County. It has two good Streets, which cross each other, and is inriched by the Industry of the Townsmen, and the Woollen Manufacture, with which they have drove a Trade throughout England ever since the Reign of Edward III. As early as Richard II. and Henry IV. special Laws were enacted on purpose for regulating Kendal Cloths. Queen Elizabeth erected it into a Corporation by the Name of Aldermen and Burgesses; and King James I. incorporated it with a Mayor, Recorder, Town-Clerk, twelve Aldermen, twenty four Burgesses, and two Attorneys, of whom the Mayor, Recorder, and two Senior Aldermen, are always Justices of the Peace. It is of Note also for the Manufacture of Cottons, Druggets, Serges, Hats, Worsted, and Yarn Stockings, &c. Its Markets are on Saturday, and the Monday before Lady day, and its Fairs are on [Trinity] | ||

There are seven trading Companies belonging to the Town, viz. Mercers, Sheermen, Cordwainers, Tanners, Glovers, Taylors, and Pewterers, who have each their Hall. The Church here is beautiful, and very large, and yet has twelve Chapels of Ease belonging to it. 'Tis supported by five Rows of handsome Pillars. Near the Church is Free-School well endowed, with Exhibitions for such Scholars as are sent hence to Queen's-College, Oxford. There's a Charity-School here for sixteen Boys and ten Girls, all cloathed and taught. At a little Distance from the wooden Bridge are the Ruins of a Castle, in which Catherine Parr, the sixth Wife of Henry VIII. was born. | ||
This Place has had the great honour of giving Title of Baron, Earl and Duke, particularly that of Earl to Prince George of Denmark; and last of all, that of Dutchess to the late Melusina Schulenberg, who had before been created Dutchess of Munster in Ireland. | ||

Kendall is a town built all of stone, one very broad streete in which is the market Crosse; its a goode tradeing town mostly famed for the cottons; Kendall Cotton is used for blanckets and the Scotts use them for their plodds and there is much made here and also linsiwoolseys and a great deale of leather tann'd here and all sorts of commodityes twice a week is the market furnished with all sorts of things. | ||
The River Can which gives name to the town is pretty large but full of rocks and stones that makes shelves and falls in the water, ... there are great falls of water partly naturall and added to by putting more stones in manner of wyers at which they catch salmon ... the roareing of the water at these places sometymes does foretell wet weather, they do observe when the water roares most in the fall on the northside it will be faire, if on the southside of the town it will be wet; some of them are falls as high as a house ... there are 3 or 4 good houses in the town, the rest are like good traders houses very neate and tight, the streets are all pitch'd which is extreame easy to be repair'd for the whole country is like one entire rock or pitching almost all the roads. | ||

... the principall profit that the people of this Province [Westmorland] raise unto themselves, is by cloathing. | ||
(7) The chiefest place of which is Kandale or Kendale, called also Kirkeby Kendale, standing on the banke of the River Can. This Towne is of great trade and resort, and for the diligent and industrious practice of making cloath so excels the rest, that in regard thereof it carrieth a supereminent name above them, and hath great vent & traffique for her wollen cloaths through all the parts of England. It challengeth not much glorie for Antiquitie; onely this is accounteth a great credit, that it hath dignified three Earles with the title thereof, as John Duke of Bedford, whom Henry the Fist (sic) (being his brother) advanced to that honour, John, Duke of Sommerset, and John de Foix, whom King Henry the sixt preferred to that dignitie for his honourable and trusty services done in the French warres. It is a place of very civill and orderly government, the which is mannaged by an Alderman, chosen every year out of his twelve Brethren, who are all distinguished and notified from the rest by wearing of purple garments. The Alderman and his Senior Brother are alwayes Justices of Peace and Quorum. There are in it a Towne-Clerke, a Recorder, two Sergeants at Mace, and two Chamberlaines. By Mathematicall observation the site of this Towne is in the degree of Longitude 17.30 scruples, from the first West point, and the Pole elevated in Latitude to the degree 55. and 15 minutes | ||
