Free Lunchtime lecture by Dr Peter Ross
"I am the Sheppard, and all the Gaolers in the Town are my Flock, and I cannot stir into the Country but they are all at my Heels Baughing after me."
A free lunchtime talk at Shoe Lane Library. Dr Peter Ross narrates the extraordinary life of housebreaker, thief and highwayman "Gentleman" Jack Sheppard, who through his numerous and astounding escapes from Newgate and other prisons became the idol of the London Mob in the 1720's. His grisly end on the gallows at Tyburn was only the start of a legend that has been reinvented and retold in popular culture across nearly three centuries.
Free, no need to book, no ticket required. Seating capacity 50 plus standing room, please arrive a little early to secure a seat.
