Sir James Sheppard (c. 1681–1730), of Watton Court, Honiton, and Lawell, Chudleigh, Devon, was an British lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1711 and 1730. Sheppard was the eldest son of James Sheppard of Honiton, attorney-at-law and was educated in the law at the Middle Temple, where he was called to the bar in 1705. He was appointed as Recorder of Honiton in 1713 and was a serjeant-at-law from 1724 to his death.[1] Sheppard was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Honiton from 17 February 1711 to 1715[1] and 1727 to 10 April 1730. He was knighted in 1729.[2] The monument Sheppard requested in his will to be erected in Honiton Church, with his bust, was destroyed in a fire in March 1911, but the panel with the inscription was preserved and is now on the south wall of the church.[3] Sheppard married, in 1704, Elizabeth Fowler and had 3 sons and 5 daughters.
