From 1843 to 2001, Epperstone was the birthplace of 3 famous people

Evelyn Abbott (English classical scholar (1843-1901)) is the best known by our measure: Wikipedia has an article about them in 6 languages. Next come Tom Gamble and Bob Suter.

3 people born in Epperstone have an English Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace. Wikidata places 4 people here; the rest aren’t listed because their article names somewhere else, or no town.

Among its famous people, athletes: 2 of the 3. That is 67% of the town’s list, against 49% across UK towns.

Evelyn Abbott, born in 1843. The youngest on the list was born in 2001.

People Wikidata records as born in a place inside Epperstone’s built-up area (the ONS 2022 boundary), a hospital or district within it included, whose English Wikipedia article agrees. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a bigger area (“London”), another town, or missing, or their article may give no birthplace. We only list people both sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
