Architect. He was a British architect of the 19th century, who trained as an architect in his father, Henry Edward Kendall, Sr.'s office. The father and son had a practice together until 1841. Together they designed the Esplanade and Tunnel, Kemp Town, Brighton, Sussex from 1828 to 1830. Chartered in 1837, he and his father were among the co-founders of what became the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the professional body for architects primarily in the United Kingdom. In 1863 he built, for the publisher Sir Thomas Longman's home, which became a girl's school by the 21st century. Among his other works were Shuckburgh Hall at Warwicks, a private home, and the round-arched church of St John on Harrow Road in Kensal Green, both built in 1844; the Tudor Gothic "Pope's Villa," Crossdeep, built about 1845; and built in 1854, the Egyptian Revival mausoleum of Francis Jack Needham, 2nd Earl of Kilmorey and his young 3rd wife, which is now a Grade II monument. Besides a number of public schools, he designed and built two mental hospitals, Herrison Hospital in Dorset and St. Francis Hospital in West Sussex. From 1799 to 1842 he exhibited paintings of architect at the Royal Academy. At the end of his career, he established a practice with his son-in-law, Frederick Mew. The Kensal Green Cemetery contains a monument to him, attributed to Kendall senior.
