J.P.C. Roach
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]
