Colby: village life in the Colby and Banningham parish
Colby is a village in North Norfolk, sharing a civil parish with neighbouring Banningham. The parish council describes them as two distinct villages, brought together administratively in the 1930s. Colby's identity is therefore that of a village within a wider rural parish.
Community facilities across the parish include a village green, playing field and playground, allotments and a community hall. The council manages these facilities and publishes information about local meetings and parish business. They provide concrete starting points for getting to know the community, alongside visiting the streets and lanes around a prospective home.
Facilities shared by Colby and Banningham are spread across the parish. When comparing homes, locate the particular hall, play area or other destination you intend to use rather than assuming everything is in Colby's centre. The parish council's website is a useful route into local activities and the management of its community spaces.
