"COLBY, or Coleby, 3 miles N. by E. of Aylsham, has in its parish 346 souls, and 1115 acres of land, mostly the property of Lord Suffield, Mr. S.D. Roper, and W.H. Windham, Esq., and forming part of the manor of Crackford. The Church (St. Giles,) is a neat structure, which was repaired in 1748 and 1834. In the former year, the north aisle was taken down. The east window was decorated, about twelve years ago, with ancient stained glass, collected by the rector, who also purchased the altar piece, a fine painting of Moses and Aaron. The font is richly carved with figures of the Holy Family, the Evangelists, &c. The living is a discharged rectory, valued in the King's Book at £8. 15s. 10d., in the gift of Lord Suffield, and incumbency of the Rev. George Coleby, B.A." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Richard Johns]
