Sir Henry Bellasis, first baronet (1555-1624), was the second-born but eldest surviving son of
Sir William, and consequently succeeded to the main Newburgh and Henknowle estates. He was
educated at Jesus College, Cambridge, which he entered in 1572. In 1587, during a period of
military service on the Anglo-Scottish borders, he acquitted himself with distinction and was
mentioned in dispatches. Thereafter he enjoyed a high-profile career in regional and local
politics. He served five times as an MP, representing his local borough of Thirsk in 1586, 1589,
1593, and 1601, and that of Aldborough in the West Riding (close to the seat of his father-inlaw)
in 1597. He was first appointed a JP for the North Riding about 1586-7, though his early
career on the bench was somewhat compromised by his uncomfortably close connections with
the local Roman Catholic gentry. Nevertheless, by 1601 he had secured his place as a North
Riding JP, and thereafter he served regularly until his death. Bellasis was knighted by James I
at York on 17 April 1603. He was appointed to the council of the north in the same year and
again served until his death. In 1603-4 he also served as high sheriff of Yorkshire. His social
and political ambitions reached their apogee when on 29 June 1611, following the creation of
the order of baronets, he was one of the first six Yorkshiremen to purchase the title. Shortly
afterwards, clearly conscious of his new-found status, he became a leading figure in the
dispute within the council of the north concerning the order of precedence to be set for
baronets within that institution. In managing his estates Bellasis continued the policy of
enclosure, acquisition, and consolidation begun by his father. His landed estate at his death in
August 1624 was worth more than £4000 per annum, while his personal estate was valued at
some £8000. Bellasis was buried in the church of St Saviour's in York, on 19 August, and is
commemorated by a fine wall monument in York Minster. From his marriage to Ursula (d. 1633),
daughter of Sir Thomas Fairfax of Denton in the West Riding, he had one son, Thomas, who
succeeded him.
