  • John Peppercorn (1844-3 November 1915) was a businessman and local politician active in south east London. Born in Deptford, he was one of several sons of Joseph Peppercorn, a Bedfordshire born grocer and cheese monger and his wife Ann Howard née Down from Devon. After serving an apprenticeship, John set up in business as a grocer by 1870, when he married Florence L Poulton from Torquay. His business prospered and by 1898 he was described as a large draper or merchant. In that year he won a seat as a Progressive Party member of the London County Council representing Greenwich. He only served a single three-year term on the county council, standing down at the 1901 elections. When the first elections to the Metropolitan Borough Councils were held in November 1900, Peppercorn stood for election to Deptford Borough Council but was defeated, with the Moderate Party gaining control. By 1905 he had gained a seat and served as Mayor of Deptford for 1905-06. His business became a limited company, Peppercorn Brothers Limited of Greenwich and Deptford, and he retired to Lee, where he died aged 70.
