Abstract:		 Following the submission of a Listed Building application for the repair and conversion of a redundant Methodist Church, Nenthead, Alston, Cumbria, a condition was placed requiring the completion of a Level 2 archaeological building recording. Following the provision of a project design by Greenlane Archaeology the work on site was carried out in September 2015. The building comprises a large two storey structure, known to have been built on the site of a predecessor constructed in 1826. Nenthead is primarily a planned village, developed by the London Lead Company on Quaker principles in 1825, in place of a smaller settlement established in the mid-18th century. The current church was constructed in 1872-1873 to the designs of George Race, who was a Methodist and responsible for the design of an almost identical church at Westgate in Weardale. Original documentary evidence relating to its construction is remarkably lacking. The construction of 1872-1873 seems to have incorporated some of the original church in the form of a hipped outshut at the west end, although contemporary accounts suggest that the older building was demolished or collapsed. The purpose of this section is not clear, although it may have acted as a Sunday School. The building recording revealed a number of phases of alteration, which in general could be connected to the documentary sources.
