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 Saint Peter"s and vicarage of Trinity, Dorchester. Hamond was ejected by the Uniformity Acting of 1662, his successor being appointed on 30 June 1663.
The Taunton meeting-house was wrecked after Monmouth"s rebellion (1685), and Hamond left London.
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.
