. Thomas Ken and Izaak Walton, a sketch of their lives and family connection. Ken, Thomas, 1637-1711; Walton, Izaak, 1593-1683. NEAR CLAPTON, RIVER LEA CHAPTER VII Accession of Queen Anne — Offer of restoration to bishopric—Declined by him—Tremendous hurricane, 1703—Ken's letter thereon—His narrow escape—Bishop Kidder killed in the same storm—Queen Anne settles pension on him—His letter of thanks—His death. /^N the accession of Queen Anne, an offer was made, through the influence of his generous patron, that he should be restored to his diocese, by the removal of Bishop Kidder, who had succeeded him, to another diocese; but this favour, now declining in years, he refused. In connection with this a remarkable thing happened. Ken was stay- ing at his nephew's, Canonry House, Salisbury, in 1703, when that tremendous hurricane occurred which passed over the land, during which a stack of chimneys fell at his bed's head, leaving him uninjured. This storm, which left Ken safe, occa- sioned the sudden and violent death of Bishop.
