Cessford is a historic plantation house located at Eastville, Northampton County, Virginia. It was built about 1801, and is a -story, Federal style brick dwelling with a later two-story brick addition. It has a slate covered gable roof and features central pedimented porches on the north and south facades. Also on the property are a contributing smokehouse, quarter kitchen, a utility building, and the original pattern of a garden. During the American Civil War, Brigadier General Henry Hayes Lockwood on July 23, 1862, commandeered the property for his headquarters and remained in residence of the property throughout the war.[2]
The house was named after Cessford, in Scotland, the ancestral home of an early settler.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It is located in the Eastville Historical District.
