A non-denominational school was built by London Lead Co. by 1818; this was replaced by the figured imposing new building in 1864 which is now used as Nenthead village hall. Inside there is a tablet to Robert Stagg, the agent for the London Lead Company, who started the first school in the Quaker's model mining village of Nenthead.

Nenthead
The Miners Arms, left of the Wesleyan Church Image, was bought by the London Lead Company in 1823. They reduced the rent as "the miners preferred books to drink". The hotel is currently for sale (2020).
Hillersdon Terrace can be seen between the two buildings. It was named after John Hillersdon of the London Lead Company. The terrace consisting of a sequence of seven housing blocks spread along the contour a little way up the valley side and parallel to the river. The blocks vary in size and arrangement of accommodation, intended to provide high-quality accommodation for management and workers alike, from the detached house for the surgeon, the semi-detached houses for the mill agent and school master, to the smelters who were housed in one-bay terraced houses in three rows of four.
