LESTOFF, or LESTORF, a town of Suffolk in England, seated on the sea-shore, 117 miles northwest of London. It is concerned in the fisheries of the North-sea, cod, herrings, mackerels, and sprats; has a church, and a dissenting meeting-house; and for its security, six eighteen-pounders, which they can move as occasion requires; but it has no battery. The town consists of 500 houses; but the streets, though tolerably paved, are narrow. It has a market on Wednesdays, and two fairs in the year for petty chapmen. The coast is there very dangerous for strangers.
