Nantwich’s First Woman Magistrate. Miss Edith Bellyse, Nantwich’s first woman magistrate, died suddenly today at the age of 81. She was interested in most of the social and welfare movement in the district and was an intimate friend of the late Baroness Schroder of Worleston (Evening Express, 12 July 1934).

Baroness von Schröder of Worleston was Marie Caroline (née Horny) von Schröder (1845–1927), the wife of Baron William von Schröder, Wilhelm Heinrich von Schröder. The family belonged to the prominent Anglo-German Schröder banking dynasty and resided at Rookery Hall, a grand estate in Worleston, Cheshire. Throughout the early 1900s, Marie Caroline and her husband lived at Rookery Hall, which Baron William had extensively remodelled from a traditional Georgian mansion into a striking, French chateau-style residence. In 1900, further significant structural alterations and extensions were made to the property. Baroness Schröder was frequently mentioned in British and international newspapers during the early 1900s, particularly in around 1906, due to the high profile trial of the Carnarvon Jewel Robbery. It was revealed that a massive collection of the Baroness's jewels, valued at £3,000, an immense fortune at the time, had mysteriously disappeared from their Worleston estate back in 1892. Her husband served as a Justice of the Peace, Deputy Lieutenant of Cheshire, and the High Sheriff of the county. The family remained central pillars of Worleston's elite society until Baron William's death in 1912.
