He was deputy Master of the Revels and was commissioned on 6 May 1622 to take up embroiderers, tailors and other artificers for the King's service. On 22 May 1622 he succeeded Sir George Buck, who had gone mad, as Master of the Revels but sold his interest to Henry Herbert by August 1623. On 18 September 1609 Astley married Katherine Brydges, daughter of Anthony Brydges of Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire. Their children, three sons and a daughter, all died during the lifetime of their father, who was succeeded in his estates by his kinsman Sir Jacob Astley. Astley died in 1640.
