John Bradley (11 January 1954 – 7 November 2014)[1] was a historian and archaeologist at NUI Maynooth.
He left a large corpus of works that he had either written or edited and was very committed to publishing.
[3] He has been described, in the newsletter of the Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland, as "the first and foremost Irish medieval archaeologist, urban historian, raconteur, font of knowledge on literature, film, chess, opera and so many other subjects.
A Kilkenny man par excellence, and a great loss to archaeology and life".
[3] The Kilkenny Archaeological Society, of which he was a member, holds an annual conference in his memory.
