Racket Hall was occupied by Patten Smith in 1814. Lewis writes that Messrs Birch and Co had a large brewery at Racket Hall and Mrs Mary Birch was the occupier of the house at the time of Griffith's Valuation. She held the property valued at £16+ from George Birch and Co. The brewery was valued at £18. The house is now incorporated in a hotel complex see http://www.rackethallhotel.com/welcome.html
