ORFORD, a town of Suffolk in England, seated on the sea-coast between two channels. It was formerly a good fishing-town, but has now lost its trade; however, it has the title of an earldom, and sends two members to parliament. Here is a handsome church, whose steeple is a good sea-mark; and near it are the ruins of an old castle, and an holy house, where the seamen wives used to pray for the safety of their husbands. E. Long. 1. 33. N. Lat. 52. 15.
