Notable residents

John Taylor (1808-1887), the third president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) lived at Yew Tree House, Hale, (which still stands, to the east of the A6) after his father James Taylor moved there with his family in 1819. A plaque outside the house commemorates this.[8]
