Charles Derek Bond (4 July 1927 – 20 July 2018) was a British Anglican bishop, the Bishop of Bradwell, from 1976 until 1993,[1] during which time the diocese's area scheme was founded in 1983.[2][3]

Biography

Bond was educated at Bournemouth School and King's College London before embarking on an ecclesiastical career with a curacy at St Peter-le-Poer, Friern Barnet.[4] After incumbencies at Harringay and Harrow Weald he was appointed Archdeacon of Colchester[5] before being elevated to the episcopate.

In retirement he continued to serve the Church as an assistant bishop – first within the Diocese of Worcester and then in the Diocese of Chelmsford.[6] He died on 20 July 2018 at the age of 91.[7]
