We need OP to look at the maps.
NB There is a side by side option on that website.

Here are Banner Hill and Rounds Hill farms in 1925

The Daily Mirror published a photograph of Catherine Stanyer on 10 May 1938. Could be useful to compare with 1937 photograph OP has if it is the same family.

Newspaper articles of the period (30s/40s) refer to T Bostock, Fernhill Farm. In the 1939 register Thomas Bostock is listed as Rouncil Farm, Rouncil Lane, with Oak Farm adjacent (occupied by another Bostock).

I think this points to the westerly Fernhill being the Stanyer Farm, and the easterly Fernhill [aka Rouncil?] being the Bostock farm.

Since the Bostock family are still at Roundshill Farm, maybe the OP could pay them a visit and see if the current generation recognise anyone in the photographs

Looking at the current OS map it is clear that the OP is referring to the westerly Fernhill, which appears as Fernwood Farm. The easterly Fernhill is still labelled as Fernhill with Oaks Farm to its east and Roundshill Farm to its south.

Looking again at the 1939 Register I see that the Stanyer farm is in the borough of Warwick whereas the Bostock farms are in the borough of Kenilworth.

added: some of the newspaper reports of Catherine Stanyer’s deat give the address as Fernhill Farm, Beausale, which also supports the Stanyer farm being the westerly one.

That is an interesting story, which brings us back to the confusion about which farm we are talking about. The map and pictures which accompany the article about the death of Annie Maria Stanyer do not show the same farm as that is identified as Fernwood Farm today (the picture I posted above). However that may have been a mistake by the author of the modern day article. We really need the OP to confirm which property she is asking about.
