Caldicot, (1932) Four volumes consisting of a List of Subscribers, Addenda and Corrigenda, and Indices of Names and Places. Revised arrangement: 1991-1994 Between 1991 and 1994 the history was reprinted by Academy Books, and subsequently the Merton Priory Press, as an 80% sized facsimile. The work was arranged somewhat differently to the original history, the indexes were included in their respective Parts, and a fifth volume covering the last Hundred of Newport, was compiled from Bradney's manuscript notes by Dr Madeleine Gray. This last volume was published by the National Library of Wales. The re-ordered works were: Volume 1 Part 1, The Hundred of Skenfrith, (1991), Volume 1 Part 2a, The Hundred of Abergavenny, (1992), Volume 1 Part 2b, The Hundred of Abergavenny, (1992), Volume 2 Part 1, The Hundred of Raglan, (1992), Volume 2 Part 2, The Hundred of Trelech, (1992), Volume 3 Part 1, The Hundred of Usk, (1993), Volume 3 Part 2, The Hundred of Usk, (1993), Volume 4 Part 1, The Hundred of Caldicot, (1994), Volume 4 Part 2 The Hundred of Caldicot, (1994), Volume 5 The Hundred of Newport, (1993), Assessment Bradney's work remains a valuable source for information on the county's history but its weaknesses have long been recognised.

His family histories came in for particular criticism. Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan, in the first of their three-volume study Monmouthshire Houses, wrote of the pedigrees of the Monmouthshire families; "Sir Joseph Bradney gives a large number (which) trace their ancestry to Welsh kings or Norman lords but are, like those of their English contemporaries, mostly fictitious". Canon E. T. Davies, in his 1986 study, Bradney's "History of Monmouthshire": An Assessment, placed Bradney in a "particular tradition in which country gentlemen wrote for country gentlemen". Considering him more of a genealogist than a historian, Davies levelled two particular charges. Firstly, Bradney's reliance on weak sources for his early history of the county, such as Geoffrey of Monmouth, and Iolo Morganwg, who had been exposed as a forger while Bradney was engaged on his work. Secondly, Davies critiqued Bradney's lack of interest in, and coverage of, Monmouthshire's later industrial history; "his vision fixed on the old,
