        The Astleys were a Staffordshire family but their connexion with Wiltshire dated from the first half of the 18th century. Sir John Astley's mother had married as her second husband General Webb of Biddesden (Chute), member of Parliament for Ludgershall, when her son was only a year old; and after her death he bought himself an estate at Everley, in the same part of the county. This passed at his death to Francis Dugdale, father of John Dugdale Astley, the Wiltshire member of Parliament.
