John Bradford (poet)

John Bradford (1706–1785)) was a Welsh poet.

In 1730 he was admitted a 'disciple' of the bardic chair of Glamorgan, in which chair he himself presided in 1750. Some of his poems, 'moral pieces of great merit,' according to Dr. Owen Pughe, were printed in a contemporary Welsh periodical entitled the Eurgrawn.
