About Fencing in Kendal
Kendal in Cumbria built its prosperity on wool, reflected in the town's Latin motto Pannis mihi panis, meaning wool is my bread, after King Richard I granted the town the right to hold a market in 1189. Its most famous cloth, Kendal Green, was a hardwearing fabric reputedly worn by the Kendal bowmen who fought at the battles of Crecy and Poitiers, and was later exported to America, where it clothed enslaved people working on plantations, with sugar and tobacco shipped back in return, raw materials that in time gave rise to Kendal's confectionery and snuff making trades. One happy accident from that confectionery tradition came in 1869, when Joseph Wiper's attention wandered while making mints and the mixture solidified into what became known as Kendal mint cake, later carried by Sir Edmund Hillary on his successful 1953 ascent of Everest.
