Notes from the "History of Hayfield" by Houghton:
It seems that 5 Church Street (a double-fronted house at the junction of Top o'the Town and
Valley Road) and three houses on Valley Road were once an inn. On deeds dating from 1851, the old property at the
back of the house was marked "Aaron Rangeley's Brew House".
