John Atcheler (1792 – 7 March 1867) was the operator of a slaughterhouse in the City of London and claimed to be “Horse Slaughterer to Her Majesty Queen Victoria”. While horse slaughterers were highly valued at the time, Atcheler still made a significant fortune in his line of work, no doubt in due of his self proclaimed aforementioned title. To this day it is disputed as to whether or not John Atcheler had any form of official title as "Her Majesty's Horse Slaughterer" at all. John Atcheler was married three times and had many children between two of them. Atcheler's grave can be found in Highgate Cemetery in the Camden district of London.
