Henry Bradshaw (poet)

Henry Bradshaw (c. 1450 - 1513) was an English poet born in Chester. In his boyhood he was received into the Benedictine monastery of Saint Werburgh, and after studying with other novices of his order at Gloucester College, Oxford, he returned to his monastery at Chester.

He wrote a Latin treatise "De antiquitate et magnificentia Urbis Cestricie", which is lost, and a life of the patron saint of his monastery in English seven-lined stanza.
