"THORPE HALL, a farm-house in the township and parish of Selby; 2 miles W. of Selby, 9 from Ferrybridge Hi Bill I looked at Genuki and this came up - may have been known locally as Castle Thorpe. I don't think a journalist in Hull would mix up Scawby and Selby to be honest - there's a big, wide river between Hull and Lincolnshire, so in Hull Lincs seems quite remote, and same if you're on the other side. Scalby is in Yorkshire, near Howden. Hope that helps Jane Chasing W(h)eldrake/drick - any variation, anywhere, anytime.
