Bradshaw House
This is where the house belonging to John Bradshaw used to stand, before being pulled down in 1820. Bradshaw (1602-1658) was born in Stockport, Cheshire and was the younger son of a minor gentry family. He went on to study law at Gray's Inn in London before returning to Cheshire, where he became a prominent lawyer and was Mayor of Congleton in 1637. Later, he returned to London and became a judge at the Sheriff's Court, presiding over several high profile trials. In 1649, after several other prominent lawyers and judges had turned down the position, Bradshaw reluctantly took up the post of Lord-President of the High Court of Justice. Whilst holding office he presided over the trial of Charles I, sentencing him to death. Bradshaw died in 1659 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, after the Restoration he posthumously tried for the crime of Regicide (murder of a member of the Royal Family). Found guilty, his body was exhumed and hung in chains at Tyburn ( http://www.british-civil-wars.co.uk/biog/bradshaw.htm ).
