"(abbreviated, as we conjecture, from White Cloth Hall) was another stately mansion. It stood upon the site of the present Town Hall, and was the residence of the Robinsons, afterwards of Rokeby Park. The front projected with two wings : the windows were stone mullioned ; and the stair case was of stone — spacious and circular. The ground which now forms New Street, was a garden, attached to the hall." (The Annals of Kendal, Cornelius Nicholson FGS, 1861)
