Watercolour. 10¼ by 13½ in.
Shows him as Captain of Trained Bands seated in his tent at Tilbury
camp, 1588. Two sentinels guard the entrance, and a page holds his
horse. There is a similar monument (1625) to Sir Charles Montagu in
Barking Church, Essex. Both have special interest on account of the
military costumes. Martin Bond died in 1643 at the age of eighty-five.
It will be seen on the last page of catalogue that he gave to St.
Bartholomew’s Hospital the pewter inkstand here exhibited.
