Nicholas Kendall (22 December 1800 – 8 June 1878)[1] was born at St Mabyn, Cornwall. He was High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1847 and a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP).[2] In 1858 he was chairman of the River Thames Select Committee during The Great Stink [3]

His family was Cornish, being the Kendalls of Pelyn, Lanlivery, near Lostwithiel.

He was educated at Trinity College, Oxford. He was High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1847. In the same year he suppressed a riot at St Austell, on the 11th of June. He was returned to parliament for East Cornwall, in conjunction with Thomas Agar-Robartes, in 1852, which position he retained without intermission until 1868. Mr Kendall was one of the county magistrates and also a deputy-lieutenant, and deputy warden of the Stannaries. For some time he was captain of the Royal Cornwall Rangers Militia.[4]
