He married Pat Sandy, also an actor, who sadly died in 2000. He has three children, Matthew, Samantha and Abigail. Matthew is a journalist writing mostly on films and TV, Samantha and Abigail are both actors, Samantha probably being the better known having starred or co-starred in several dramas on TV and the live stage, and currently holding down the job of Moneypenny to Pierce Brosnan's James Bond on the 'Big Screen'. Hope this is of interest. The photos were extracted from the web under searches for Philip Bond, I don't think there are any copyright infringements. All the best, Les simpson0403@fast24.co.uk |

The Ven. Richard Inwood, currently the Archdeacon of Halifax,
West Yorkshire, is to succeed the Rt Rev John Richardson, who retired in July
after more than eight years as bishop. He will take up his new post in March,
2003, and will have oversight of 150 parishes in Luton and Bedfordshire, under
the direction of the Bishop of St Albans. Formerly from Shobnall, Mr Inwood, 56,
was a pupil at Burton Grammar School between 1957 and 1964, and is a member of
the school's old boys' association, numbering 550 former pupils. Mr Inwood, who
is married to Liz and has three grown~up daughters, went on to study chemistry

Before training for Christian ministry at St John's College in Nottingham, Mr
Inwood spent a year teaching in North West Uganda as well as two years as a

consecrated by the new Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Dr Rowan
Williams, at Southwark Cathedral on March 7, 2003. Commenting on his new role Mr
Inwood said: "It's a challenging and exciting prospect and a great
responsibility. "It's a great privilege too, and I'm really looking forward to
getting to know the parishes of the diocese and of Luton and Bedfordshire in
particular. "I hope, as Bishop, to be an interpreter, bringing a sense of God
and his presence to places where there is little awareness of him. "I would hope
to open people's eyes to what the church is really for and-what Jesus Christ is
offering them. "I also want to offer support and care to the clergy, who are
under increasing pressure today," he said.
