THOMAS KEN AND IZAAK WALTON 129 



It is also stated in a deed to which Walton 

 was a party wherein he was, in December, 1658, 

 described as "Isaacke Walton of Worson Farme, 

 in the Parish of St. Marye's in Stafford, in the 

 County of Stafford, Gent." 



I venture to indulge the theory that at the end 

 of 1661, having given up his residence in Clerken- 

 well, and finding his Kenna's health failing, he 

 took her on a visit to their old friend George 

 Morley, who was then Bishop of Worcester, and 

 that during that visit she died there, April 17, 

 1662. This would show why she was buried in 

 Worcester Cathedral, so far from all her relatives. 

 An account of her death, and the monument in 

 Worcester Cathedral, will be found in Chap. ii. 

 p. 16, Part I.
