The Astley, later Astley-Corbett, later Astley Baronetcy, of Everley in the County of Wiltshire, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 15 August 1821 for John Astley, Member of Parliament for Wiltshire and Wiltshire North. He was a descendant of Thomas Astley, younger brother of the first Baronet of Patshull. The third Baronet represented Lincolnshire North in Parliament as a Conservative. He married Eleanor Blanche Mary, daughter of Thomas George Corbett. Their eldest son, Francis, the fourth Baronet, assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Corbett in 1890. His grandson, Francis, the fifth Baronet, was killed in action in World War II.
