For as long as the world shall endure is the book written by Michael Orton detailing the 500 Year History of Bond’s and Ford’s Almshouses.
Bond’s and Ford’s Almshouses are as recognisable to citizens and visitors to Coventry in the 21st Century as they would have been when first founded 500 years ago.
The Almshouses were established in the early 1500s by local merchants Thomas Bond and William Ford. The title of this book “For so long as the world shall endure” is a quotation from Thomas Bond’s will stipulating his bequest was to last for all of time.
The book can be purchased for £20.00 plus postage and packaging. Please contact Kylie Reid at kylieh@coventrycmc.co.uk or 02475 097422.
