dbpprop:abstract
  • David Stuart Sheppard, Baron Sheppard of Liverpool was a high-profile bishop of the Church of England and, previously, an English cricketer. Sheppard was born in Reigate, Surrey, the son of a solicitor, and educated at Sherborne School, Dorset where his cricketing talent first emerged. After National Service as a second lieutenant in the Royal Sussex Regiment, he then went up to Trinity Hall, Cambridge and played for Cambridge University (blue 1950, 1951 and 1952; captain 1952), Sussex (captain 1953) and England. In 1952 he topped the English batting averages, scoring 2,262 runs at an average of 64.62. This included 1,281 runs and 7 centuries for Cambridge University, a Cambridge record. His career total for Cambridge University, 3,545, was also a record. He hit 1,000 runs in a season six times, reaching 2,000 three times (highest 2,270, average 45.40, in 1953). He hit three double centuries, one for Sussex and two for Cambridge University (highest 239 not out for Cambridge University v Worcestershire at Worcester in 1952). He played in 22 Test matches. He was not selected in 1953 when England played Australia and recovered the Ashes, but he was selected in 1954, and captained the team on two occasions against the touring Pakistanis, when he stood in for Len Hutton. One game was won, the other drawn, but the four-Test series ended tied at 1-1. He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1953. Sheppard was converted to evangelical Christianity whilst at Cambridge and trained for the ministry at Ridley Hall, Cambridge where he attended the lectures of Owen Chadwick and Maurice Wiles, and was much impressed by a visiting lecturer, Donald Soper. He was involved with the ministry of E. J. H. Nash. He was ordained in 1955 and continued to play Test cricket until 1963, being the first ordained minister to do so. He became Bishop of Woolwich in 1969, and Bishop of Liverpool in 1975. He was an active broadcaster and campaigner, especially on the subject of poverty and social reform in the inner cities. He worked closely with the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool, Derek Worlock, on these issues, and was often an outspoken critic of Margaret Thatcher's government. In 1985 he was appointed as a member of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission on Urban Priority Areas, culminating in the publishing of the controversial report "Faith in the City". He retired in 1997, and in the 1998 New Year Honours was elevated to a life peerage, taking the title Baron Sheppard of Liverpool, of West Kirby in the County of Merseyside. He sat in the House of Lords on the Labour benches. In 2001 Sheppard was named President of Sussex County Cricket Club. Lord Sheppard published two autobiographies, Parson's Pitch, in 1966 and Steps Along Hope Street, in 2002 (named after the street in Liverpool which links the Anglican and Roman Catholic cathedrals). He had a long and happy marriage to his wife Grace, who he met at Cambridge. Their only child, Jenny, was received into the Roman Catholic Church but the family did not become estranged. In December 2003 he announced that he had been suffering from colorectal cancer for the previous two years, and he died just over a year later, on the day before what would have been his 76th birthday. On Pentecost Sunday, 11 May 2008 during the Christian Walk of Witness a Memorial Statue, The Sheppard-Worlock Statue, in the form of two Bronze Doors was unveiled to both Archbishop Derek Worlock and Bishop David Sheppard. The memorial was designed by acclaimed sculptor Stephen Broadbent and funded by public donations. The Memorial is situated half way down Hope Street.
