Miss Rose Bradley, O.B.E., who died on September 24, was the youngest but not the least gifted of Dean Bradley's daughters.

She possessed, in addition to rare personal charm and dignity, a clear, shrewd mind. In the 1890's she helped to make the Deanery at Westminster not only a centre of brilliant intellectual and social life, but to it she also welcomed any foreign and oversea [sic] visitors. After her father died, she continued her active association with Westminster, and was for over 40 years on the governing body of the Grey Coat Hospital and its daughter school, Queen Anne's, Caversham. In the 1914-18 war she acted as secretary to the Women's Legion, founded and organized by Lady Londonderry, for which war work she was made an O.B.E.

A regular contributor to the Cornhill and the Nineteenth Century in her earlier years, Miss Bradley collected some of her delightful historical, literary and travel essays in "Children at Play" and "The English Housewife in the 17th and 18th Centuries." She also assisted in compiling the biography of the late Lord Chaplin. But it is for her personal qualities that she is best remembered. Her high courage and unselfishness throughout a long life never failed: a subtle and astringent wit were only matched by unobtrusive sympathy and kindness. Her intense interest in everything and everybody round her was reflected in her active support of the local war effort in the village where she spent the last years o her life.
