Source (S2) refer to Coston Church as standing 'near the ruins of some large building - query what has been?' Was this the building? Or perhaps Manor Farm (see NHER 16725?). No, the reference is to the archdeacon's palace, NHER 21233.

Map of 1883 (S3) has 'Bayfield Hall, remains of' and 'moat' in Gothic text.
