Benton Square, the long-demolished St. Aidan. Bill advises (in 2011) that it was demolished "over 60 years ago".
The 1954 1" O.S. map indicates that the church stood on the western corner of a
junction, but the side road itself has gone now. Although the church is
commemorated by St. Aidan's Avenue, the church itself stood some little way to
the south-west, and the site is now covered by trees, seen on the right in this
2019 Streetview. NZ 3001 7006.
From Ron Maddox's Collection, and sent in by Bill Henderson. The former
Primitive Methodist Chapel can be seen in a
2012 Streetview. It stands
on today's Wesley Drive. Its My Primitive Methodists
entry dates it to 1830. NZ 2990 7013. The Wesleyans
were also represented locally, with a chapel at NZ 2988 7000. Between 1890 and
1897 it had been converted into (or replaced by) a reading room. Now demolished,
its site is in this tree-covered
area as seen on a 2018 Streetview of the Holystone Way/Whitley Road
roundabout.

Marsden, Lighthouse Christian Fellowship.
This was built as Primitive Methodist, and was later known as Marsden Methodist
Church. NZ 407 638. It was successor to an earlier P.M. Chapel which stood
at NZ 4077 6421 - the site is now a grassy area near the lighthouse, and can be
seen on Streetview
here. © James Murray. Another view,
© Martin Richter (2018). Howard Richter has advised of two other vanished
churches. St. Andrew stood at NZ 4070 6386, and the site is also under grassland
- Streetview
here. There was also a Mission Room which stood at NZ 4064 6423 - Streetview
here of a piece of rough ground in a walled enclosure. Could the enclosure
walls be a survivor of the Mission Room? - they seem to have the same footprint
on old maps. All three of the demolished churches were victims of the wholesale
demolition of Marsden village. The story can be read
here.

Moorsley, the site of the
Mission Church (later St. Oswald), as seen by the Streetview van in 2020.
Originally a mission from St. Cuthbert in East Rainton, it pre-dates a map of
1896, and it seems to have survived into the 1970's. There's a reference
here
to its demolition in the 1930's, but this is contradicted by map evidence. NZ
3392 4606. A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel is shown on
a map of 1856-1869, at NZ 3412 4624. The site hasn't been seen by the Streetview
van. A former Methodist Church
(built as Wesleyan in 1858) stands at NZ 3406 4617. It seems to have been active
up to the late 1950's or 1960's. © Martin Richter (2019). Another
Chapel stood at NZ 3411 4620, and although not
named on any available maps, other evidence (a directory of 1890) suggests it
was Primitive Methodist. Its
site was seen by Streetview in 2020.
