A map of 1896 shows Bethany Christian Lay Church on Kyo Road, Catchgate, at NZ 1651 5215. On one of 1920, it's Methodist Church (Independent). The church shows as still active on a map of 1961, but has since been closed, and as of 2023 (Streetview) looked uncared for.

A Primitive Methodist Chapel shows on the 25" map of 1920 off Shieldrow Lane at NZ 1778 5161. At some point Kyo Laws Methodist Church (2009 Streetview) was built in front of it. The brick building to its rear wasn't the P.M. Chapel, as it was on a different alignment. Kyo Laws Methodist has since closed.

St. Aidan on Shield Row Lane. It dates from 1925, 1928, or 1929-30, according to the source consulted. It was closed in 2016 according to this source, which is the one which dates it to 1925, and it says it replaced a temporary Mission Hall. Map evidence shows that this was on the same site, dating back to the early 1920's. NZ 1726 5125. © Bill Henderson.
