What is recorded here

This black commemorative plaque records: ABBOT HALL. Abbot Hall was built on a medieval site in the fashionable Palladian style between 1759 and 1762 for Colonel and Mrs. George Wilson, reputedly to the design of Carr of York. Planned as a country house in the town, Abbot Hall soon became Kendal's premier residential address. It was threatened with demolition in the 1930s and 1950s but a charitable trust saved the building and now runs it as an award-winning art gallery. Recorded plaque organisation: Kendal Civic Society.

Abbot Hall, built between 1759 and 1762 in the Palladian style for Colonel George Wilson, is a significant architectural landmark in Kendal that was saved from demolition and now serves as an award-winning art gallery.
