Baron Seaford is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It dates to 1826. In 1803, the barony devolved upon Charles Ellis, who had previously succeeded to the barony of Howard de Walden (created by writ in 1597). In 1999, the titles separated, with the barony of Howard de Walden falling into abeyance.
The baron eventually went on to obtain the title of Earl of Suffolk from Elizabeth I's successor King James I, which latter title continues in his male-line descendants.
In 1788, the new 4th Baron Howard de Walden was also created 1st Baron Braybrooke with special remainder to a kinsman Richard Aldsworth Neville who had married a daughter of the powerful Grenville family (and thus a cousin of William Pitt the Younger).
The 6th Baron was succeeded by his son the 7th Baron (1830-1899) and the 8th Baron (1880-1946).
