Abstract:		 The outbuilding at Church House is in the curtilage of the Grade II Listed Bank House (to which Church House is attached) and on the edge of the historic centre of Dalton, in close proximity to both the castle and the parish church. The outbuilding was constructed between 1850 and 1889. Its original function, although it was used as a stable and possibly coach house and the small detached block was a wash house in 1907, when the estate was sold. The building recording revealed four phases of development and alteration within the range of buildings, although the lack of detailed cartographic and documentary sources means that the dating and purpose of many of these is unclear. The earliest elements of the site cannot have been constructed until some time between 1850 and 1889, and apparently formed an unusual tower-like building of two storeys. This was subsequently extended with a building that was probably used to house animals in some form, perhaps most likely as a stable. Curiously, the whole structure was then reorganised and largely rebuilt in brick, with new internal divisions, apparently to provide a range of spaces, perhaps associated with blacksmithing. More recently the roof structure was rebuilt forming a monopitch structure, and concrete pillars supporting iron beams were added to support the floors. The building is unusual in many ways, perhaps partially on account of the difficult topography on which it is built. It does not conform to any obvious functional type, although this may be due to extensive alteration. It appears much earlier than the documentary evidence suggests, but this may be due to the extensive re-use of material. Indeed, this material includes a piece of a column, inscribed with initials, that originally formed part of the gate to the neighbouring parish church, and has apparently been lost since 1947.
