==Early life==
Bragg was born on 6 October 1939 in Carlisle,〔 the son of Mary Ethel (née Park), a tailor, and Stanley Bragg, a stock keeper turned mechanic. He was given the name Melvyn by his mother after she saw the actor Melvyn Douglas at a local cinema.〔''Melvyn Bragg: Wigton to Westminster'', BBC Two, 18 July 2015〕 He was raised in the small town of Wigton,〔 where he attended the Wigton primary school〔 and later the Nelson Thomlinson Grammar School,〔 where he was Head Boy.〔 He was an only child, born a year after his parents married, on the eve of Word War II. His father was away from home serving with the Royal Air Force for four years during the war. His upbringing and childhood experiences were typical of the working class environment of that era.〔
As a child, the woman he was led to believe was his maternal grandmother was in reality the foster parent of his own mother; his grandmother having been forced to leave the town due to the stigma of her daughter being born illegitimately.〔 From the age of 8 until he left for university, his family home was above a pub in Wigton, the Black-A-Moor Hotel, of which his father had become the landlord.〔 Into his teens he was a member of the Scouts and played rugby in his school's first team.〔 Encouraged by a teacher who had recognised his work ethic, Bragg was one of an increasing number of working class teenagers of the era being given a path to university through the grammar school system.〔 At university he read Modern History at Wadham College, Oxford in the late 1950s and early 1960s.〔
