==Life== Hamond was educated at Exeter College, Oxford, and graduated M.A. He studied also (perhaps previously) at Trinity College Dublin, where he was elected a Scholar and attracted the notice of Archbishop James Ussher. His first known charge was the vicarage of Totnes, Devon, from which William Adams had been dispossessed during the Commonwealth. In 1660 he was admitted to the rectory of St. Peter's and vicarage of Trinity, Dorchester.<ref name="DNB">{{cite DNB|wstitle=Hamond, George|volume=24}}</ref>

Hamond was ejected by the Act of Uniformity 1662, his successor being appointed on 30 June 1663. After the Royal Declaration of Indulgence of 1672, a Presbyterian meeting-house was built at Taunton, and Hamond was associated with George Newton as its minister. He also kept a boarding-school, to which several persons of rank sent their sons. The Taunton meeting-house was wrecked after Monmouth's rebellion (1685), and Hamond left London. Here he became colleague to Richard Steele at Armourers' Hall, Coleman Street, and on Steele's death (16 November 1692) sole pastor. In 1699 he succeeded William Bates as one of the Tuesday lecturers at Salters' Hall, and died in October 1705. His congregation was probably already extinct.<ref name="DNB"/>
