It was created in 1715 for George Evans, with remainder to the heirs male of his father and namesake George Evans, a supporter of William and Mary during the Glorious Revolution.

George Evans from 1749 to 1759, as it also bears elements from his wife’s family, Lady Juliana Noel (died 18 December 1760), the third daughter of Baptist Noel, 4th Earl of Gainsborough.
