Henry Edward Kendall Junior (1805–9 June 1885) was a British architect.

Background

Kendall was the son of Henry Edward Kendall, also an architect.[1] Both were among the co-founders of what became the Royal Institute of British Architects.[2]

Early career

The two initially shared a practice, which in 1834 was located at 17 Suffolk Street, London. The Esplanade and Tunnel in Kemp Town, Brighton, dating between 1828 and 1830, was one of their notable works.[3] Lewis Cubitt was amongst those who worked at the practice before setting up on his own.[4]

Many works

Kendall's works included schools, a few churches including the round-arched church of St John, Harrow Road, Kensal Green (1844), parsonages, three lunatic asylums and many houses including the remodelling of Knebworth House (1843), Shuckburgh Hall (1844), 'Pope's Villa', Twickenham (built c. 1845 on the site of Alexander Pope's house, which had been demolished in 1808/09),[5][6] and a house in Farnborough, Hampshire, built in 1860 for publisher Thomas Longman, subsequently home of Empress Eugénie of France and, since 1927, home to Farnborough Hill Girls School.[7] He also designed the mausoleum of the 2nd Earl of Kilmorey and his mistress, built in Brompton Cemetery, London, in 1854, then relocated to Woburn Park, Chertsey in 1862, and moved to Isleworth in 1870.[3] He was District Surveyor for Hampstead from 1844 and produced a book on school designs.[2] Towards the end of his career, he established a practice with his nephew, Frederick Mew.[2]

Paintings

Kendall exhibited paintings of architectural subjects at the Royal Academy between 1799 and 1843.[8]

Death

He died in 1885 in Paddington, aged 79.[9]
