More about Kendal Cumbria
Kendal in Cumbria is a large market town (granted its
market charter in 1189) and also the southern gateway to
the Lake District. Its foundation was largely based upon
the wool trade and many large mills stood on the river
Kent which flows through Kendal. It was well known for
producing ‘Kendal Green’, a course, strong material once
worn by Kendal archers and the town’s motto is in fact
‘pannus mihi panis’ or ‘wool is my bread’.
Most of the buildings in Kendal were erected in grey
stone, so it is no coincidence that it is also known as
the ‘auld grey town’. Another interesting feature is the
number of yards behind many properties which are named,
quite often after the original owners of those
properties. Lots of the yards run down to the edge of
the river where the dyeing and refining of the wool
would have taken place.
Kendal is probably best known for Kendal Mint Cake. As
the story goes, a local confectioner was attempting to
make glacier mints but left the mixture bubbling away
too long and it turned cloudy and white. He turned it
out anyway and the results went down a treat. Due to the
high glucose content, Kendal Mint Cake was used as an
energy boosting snack during Shackleton’s Arctic
Expedition and also more recently by mountaineers
climbing Mt. Everest.
These days Kendal enjoys the benefits of the tourism
trade associated with the Lake District. It has a museum
displaying art work by Ruskin and Turner who depicted
the area, a Brewery Arts centre which is used as a venue
for plays and gigs and various shops and boutiques.
There are ruins of a 12th century castle on the hillside
at the western edge of the town. It is known that the
castle belonged at one point to the Parr family of which
Catherine Parr, Henry VIII’s sixth wife, was a member.
Not much remains of the old castle, as like other
derelict buildings, much of the material has been
removed to be used in the construction of the other
buildings. The biggest parish church in Cumbria – only
slightly narrower than York Minster – stands at the edge
of the river too. Its origins date back to the 13th
century; the centre of the 5 aisles is 800 years old.
The Parr Chapel dates back to the 14th century at the
time the Parr family inhabited the castle.
Nowadays, Kendal Cumbria has a population of
approximately 27500, the largest of the South Lakeland
urban areas. Kendal has good road links - it is
approximately 20 miles north of Lancaster on the M6 and
an hour and a half away from Manchester Airport by road.
It is located a few miles to the South of Windermere and
makes an ideal base for travellers wishing to see the
southern lakes and also to discover more about the
history of the region. |
