BYFLEET, a village in Surry, situated on a branch of the river Mole,
adorned with several gentlemen’s seats, and a fine park in its
neighbourhood. At this place is a handsome house belonging to Lieut.
Gen. Cornwall; and at a place at a small distance the Rev. Mr. Spence
has made many neat and elegant improvements. The river Mole flows by
the side of Byfleet park, and forming a great number of windings,
renders its course near four miles within the compass of the
inclosure.
