Background
Allsopp was the third son of Samuel Allsopp (12 August 1780 - 26 February 1838), the son of James Allsopp and Anne Wilson, head of the brewery firm of Samuel Allsopp & Sons of Burton-on-Trent and his wife Frances Fowler.
Career
He represented East Worcestershire in the House of Commons between 1874 and 1880 when he was ennobled.[1] In 1874 he was made a Deputy Lieutenant of Worcestershire.[2] He was created a Baronet, of Hindlip Hall in the Parish of Hindlip in the County of Worcester, in 1880,[3] and raised to the peerage as Baron Hindlip, of Hindlip in the County of Worcester and of Alsop-en-le-Dale in the County of Derby, in 1886.[4]
Allsopp succeeded his father in 1838 in running of the family brewing business. He was very upset when shareholders claimed they had been misled over its 1887 stockmarket flotation, and he died within weeks of the criticism.[5]
Family
Lord Hindlip married Elizabeth Tongue, daughter of William Tongue, in 1839. He died in April 1887, aged 76, and was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son Samuel. His son George Higginson Allsopp was MP for Worcester, and Alfred Percy Allsopp was MP for Taunton. Another son Herbert Allsopp was a cricketer and army officer. Lady Hindlip died in 1906.
