Kendall's works included schools, a few churches including the round-arched church of St John, Harrow Road,
Kensal Green (1844), parsonages, two lunatic asylums (
Herrison Hospital and
St Francis Hospital) and many houses including the remodelling of
Knebworth House (1843),
Shuckburgh Hall (1844), 'Pope's Villa',
Twickenham (built on the site of
Alexander Pope's house, which had been demolished in 1808/09), 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. 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. two of which survive (though one is currently under threat of demolition by
Brent Council). A view of the projected estate, showing a church that was in fact never built, depicts an idealised Victorian middle-class suburb. The estate was advertised by its developers as follows: "The aspect is South and South West overlooking 30 miles of beautiful country and THE SURREY HILLS. The surrounding lands are the property of large landholders or Ecclesiastical Corporations thus rendering it certain that no small houses or nuisances will be built in the neighbourhood ... It is proposed that Gates and Lodges shall be erected and the roads kept quite private ... this will render the Park like a Private Garden and will ... effectually Prevent all beggars, and similar annoyances, and all those little petty thefts and injuries which are so vexatious, and which are so frequently committed in the gardens and out-buildings in the neighbourhood of the Metropolis". By 1876 over 60 "smart new villas" had been built, along with the large 'Stonebridge Park Hotel'. Stonebridge Park became the home of many of the men who ran the
Willesden Urban District's local government. Towards the end of his career, Kendall established a practice with his son-in-law, Frederick Mew. ==Paintings==
