Kendal is often described by two other names one being The Auld Grey Town & the other The Gateway to the Lakes. One of the earliest indications of the town name was in Norman times when it was known as Kirk byre Ken dale (church town in Kent dale).

'I'll put you in my diary!' comedian Kenneth Williams was known to threaten on occasion although tantalisingly he kept the journal to himself during his lifetime. Here at last in one spellbinding volume are four million words of it. For more than forty years from his sixteenth birthday until the eve of his unexpected death in 1988 the beloved actor & outrageous ' Carry On' star Kenneth Williams kept a candid diary. Devastatingly honest about himself he is equally unsparing in his verdicts on his fellow man. In his descriptions of Tony Hancock Maggie Smith Joe Orton & countless others his waspish sense of humour love of anecdote & ear for dialogue are given full rein.

- performers.
