We present a simultaneous analysis of 10 galaxy lenses having time-delay measurements. For each lens we derive a detailed free-form mass map, with uncertainties, and with the additional requirement of a shared value of the Hubble parameter across all the lenses. We test the prior involved in the lens reconstruction against a galaxy-formation simulation. Assuming a concordance cosmology, we obtain 1/H_0 = 13.5 (+2.5/-1.3) Gyr
