He was presbyterian rector of Wigan, who in 1644 encouraged the siege of Lathom House by sermons from Jeremiah xv.
He was superseded at Wigan by Charles Hotham for not observing the parliamentary fast, but called to Macclesfield, whence he was ejected in 1662.
He was succeeded by his eldest son, John Bradshaw.
