John Sheppard was a notorious English robber and thief of early 18th-century London. Born into a poor family, he was apprenticed as a carpenter but took to theft and burglary in 1723. He was arrested and imprisoned five times in 1724 but escaped from prison, making him a notorious public figure, and wildly popular with the poorer classes.
