ASTLEY, (Warwickshire) not far from Milverton, had once a collegiate Ch. and a chantry, and was the manor of the Astleys,
given to them by the Es. of Warwick, in the R. of Hen. I. They enfeoffed the Trussels in a great part of it; and from them
it passed to the Lds. Grey of Ruthin and Groby, whose family possessed it for many generations. In the R. of Hen. VII. it
came to Thomas, Marq. of Dorset, who added a little park to the great one; and by the marriage of his son's widow to
Adrian Stokes, Esq; it came to him; but, after her decease it passed to Richard Chamberlain, Esq; to whose father it had
been given by Q. Mary, and his posterity enjoy'd the manor in 1640; but now it is the seat of Sir Roger Newdigate, Bart.
