About John Bradford

John Bradford (1510–1555) was born in England. A man of diverse talents, he worked as an accountant, a law student, and a priest. Bradford sided with the Church of England, and after Mary I took the throne in 1553, he was imprisoned under false charges. After watching prisoners being led to their execution, he uttered his best-known saying: “There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford.”
