38 THOMAS KEN AND IZAAK WALTON 



he was about to remove from the Hague. He 

 then returned to Antwerp. He did not return to 

 England till the Restoration, when he came back 

 with the restored monarch, and preached the 

 Restoration sermon, in the year of his grand 

 climacteric. He was immediately nominated Dean 

 of Christchurch ; two months afterwards he was 

 made Bishop of Worcester, and it was in this 

 cathedral that, two years later, the good and pious 

 Kenna was buried, in 1662. 



From Worcester he was translated in 1663 to 

 Winchester, and then it was that he invited Izaak 

 Walton, who was living in Clerkenwell, London, " to 

 live with him in the Episcopal Palace " ^ (so says 

 Mr. Bowles), 



In Winchester Walton passed a great part of 

 the rest of his life, writing those charming bio- 

 graphies of great divines, and there can be little 

 doubt that on the banks of the Itchen, the Wilt- 

 shire Avon, and other prolific trout streams near 

 Winchester and Salisbury, the old angler spent 

 many a pleasant day. He occasionally varied his 

 abode, and died at the Prebendary House of his 

 son-in-law. Dr. Hawkins, whom, as he says in his 

 will, he "loved as his own son," December 15, 1683. 

 ^ The New Palace was not begun till 1684.
