It was created on 30 June 1663 for John Bellot of Great Moreton Hall, near Astbury, Cheshire, who was High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1661.
He married, probably about 1735, Sibella Egerton (baptised 1 December 1711 at Astbury, Cheshire), daughter of the Rev. Philip Egerton, D.D., Rector of Astbury, by Frances, daughter of John Offley.

He first came to public attention playing drums with Ian Astbury's (at the time going by the name Ian Lindsay) band Southern Death Cult (who, after Qureshi's departure, eventually evolved into The Cult).
The band consists of Sam Forrest (vocals, guitar), David Jones (guitar), James Galley (drums) and Karl Astbury (bass).
However, the boom came after the discovery in 1720 by potter John Astbury of Shelton, that by adding heated and ground flint powder to the local reddish clay could create a more palatable white or cream ware.
Interestingly, Neurath's paper and Astbury's data inspired H. S. Taylor (1941,1942) and Maurice Huggins (1943) to propose models of keratin that are very close to the modern α-helix.
