Ernest James Peppiatt (27 July 1917 – 4 September 1979) was a British weightlifter. He competed at the 1948 Summer Olympics for Great Britain.[1]
At the 1948 Olympic Games in London, Peppiatt competed in the men’s middleweight event.[2]
He represented the English team[3] at the 1950 British Empire Games in Auckland, New Zealand,[4] where he finished 5th in the middleweight 75Â kg division.[5][6]
Peppiatt was a member of the Kentish Town Weightlifting Club, where he would later become a coach. This led to him also becoming the weightlifting coach to the British team for Tokyo Olympics in 1964.[2]
