Life
He was the son of Alban Bradshaw, an attorney, of Maidstone, Kent, where he was born. He was admitted a scholar of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1674; but was expelled in 1677 for robbing and attempting to murder one of the senior fellows. He was tried and condemned to death, but after a year's imprisonment was released.
Anthony Wood says that Bradshaw later taught in a school, and became a Quaker. He attributed to Bradshaw The Jesuits Countermin'd; or, an Account of a new Plot, London, 1679.
