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

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 continues to serve the Church as an Assistant Bishop – previously within the Diocese of Worcester and currently in the Diocese of Chelmsford.[6]
