Stuart Craddock was born 27 Aug 1903 at Halesworth, Suffolk. In 1921 he entered St Mary's Medical School, qualifying MRCS, LRCP in Jul 1927 and MBBS in Nov 1928. He then worked as House Surgeon in the Outpatient Department, before becoming a Research Scholar working with Alexander Fleming in the Inoculation Department. He was treated (unsuccessfully) for sinusitis by Fleming with penicillin in Jan 1929. He worked with the other Research Student, Frederick Ridley, on attempts to purify penicillin, which were abandoned in 1930, although Craddock continued to work with Fleming on aspects of penicillin until his marriage in 1931, when he left for a job as Assistant Bacteriologist at the Wellcome Physiological Research Laboratories, Beckenham. In 1932 he moved to Holsworthy, Devon and became a general practitioner, remaining there until his death in 1972. He and Fleming remained close friends until the latter's death.

These papers were deposited in the Wellcome Library by Mrs Dorothy Priest, Craddock's daughter, in March 2007.
