Reference has been found on a web site titled "Exploring Ken't Past that makes reference to a "Bull" or perhaps "White Bull" that was in existence between the 12th and 14th century. The passages went on to say the following:- The Bull Inn was located to the southern and eastern sides of the present Butter Market, which was once, during the 12th to 14th centuries, 'The Bullstake', where a large stake placed in the centre of the square to which animals were tied and baited. The name 'The Bull' or 'The White Bull' goes back at least one hundred years earlier, given to the 'great stone house' on the site.

I also have reference to the "Bull" addressed as Worthgate Place and another "Bull" addressed as St Peter's, and at present I don't know if there is any connection between them.
