Professor John Peter Charles Roach (1920–2015), was a British historian, Life Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge and Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of Sheffield.[1][2][3] As an academic, author, editor and historian, he made a significant contribution to the study of the history of education.[3][4][5] In 1967 he wrote a History of the City and University of Cambridge[6][7] which at the time was considered by some to be the standard history of the university despite its intention to be merely an outline.[8]

Life

John Peter Charles Roach was born in 1920 and educated at Bedford Modern School.[9] After war service in the Indian Army[10] he graduated with first class honours from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.[9][11]

Roach became a master at Haileybury for some years[9][12] before returning to Corpus Christi College as a Fellow.[9] He was later appointed Professor of Education in the Institute of Education at the University of Sheffield.[13] His academic work primarily focussed on the history of education and the history of the University of Cambridge.[14]

Roach died in Yorkshire on 11 July 2015.[3]
