BAYFORD, a farmhouse, originally a castle, near Sittingbourne, Kent. The castle is said to have been erected by King Alfred, as a counter-fortress to Castle-Rough, about a mile distant; and it became the seat of successively the Nottinghams, the Cheneys, and the Lovelaces. The moat and a piece of wall still exist.
