Thomas Francis Ford (1891-1971), Fellow of Royal Institute of British Architects, and Ashpitel Prize winner for outstanding architectural achievement (1919), was a successful Soaneian Classic architect of commercial, cinema, educational, and ecclesiastical buildings. Ford's passion was for bookbinding - 1960's miniature book bindings are a niche collecting field, and becoming increasingly hard to find; they all have a naïve charm.
