Ahem... he's now Lord Lloyd-Webber - he was granted a life peerage by Queen Elizabeth II a few years ago in 1997. (A life peerage is more prestigious than a knighthood, as a title is actually created in the rank of Baron or Baroness and the honoree becomes eligible for membership in the House of Lords.

Like a knighthood, life peerages are not inheritable and cease to exist upon the death of a life peer.
