Kendal Town Hall, Grade II listed municipal building in Highgate, Kendal, England

The town hall features a clock tower with ten bells, constructed from ashlar stone, and includes a rusticated ground floor with slate roofs.

Built in 1827 by architect Francis Webster, the building replaced an earlier moot hall from 1591 and underwent major modifications in 1859.

The interior holds Queen Catherine Parr's prayer book and a ceremonial sword presented by King Charles I to the town of Kendal.

The facility serves as headquarters for both Kendal Town Council and Westmorland and Furness Council following a £4.9 million renovation in 2021.

The clock tower carillon plays different melodies each day of the week through its bells, with the largest weighing 2.3 tonnes.
