Sorry, you're right grandadrog - it was John Kennett not Bishop (got distracted by the Bishop Kennett    )

Many thanks for all the research for Catherine Kennett.You are all correct she died in 1850 and she had been at the Dog and Bear.For some reason I was unable to print a picture of the pub do I need to order one or get some permission to print it?
  I am wracking my brains as to where I got the Black Horse from but I don't know.
 Would she have been buried at All Saints and if so how can I find out? I'm still looking for her son in law,Louisa's husband's burial site.As I said before,it could be Maidstone where their 1st son was buried.

If you download the document and open it (even if you don't have Word you should have a Word Viewer program) you can then copy an image (right click on it and copy) and paste it in to an image viewer / editor program or another document where it can be printed.
They are only small thumbnail images though, I don't know if larger images are available. Looks like the document is from the Maidstone museum website, so it may be worth contacting them if you are after a larger image.

Bit grainy at best.
