(S1) in file deals with attached farm buildings though these do not appear to be of great interest. (S2) attaches the name Colby Hall to a group of buildings more or less on the site of the present Banningham Hall Farm, but as the buildings of Colby Hall are also marked, without a name, this seems to have been a printer's error.
