The Tom Brown Inn was situated on the High Street.  This pub has now been converted into two residential properties.

From Wikipedia:

After his army service, Tom Brown retired from the 3rd Hussars, whereupon he was rewarded by King George II with a gold-topped walking stick, a replica nose made of silver to replace his he lost in battle, and a King's pension of 30 crowns (£30) a year. Brown moved to Yarm and opened an inn bearing his own name, where he lived out the remainder of his life. Brown died in Yarm in 1746 (aged 40–41) , and is buried there in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalene's Church. His grave can still be seen and is now marked with a Portland stone replica of a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) headstone, presented by the Queen's Own Hussars in 1968.
