The former Belle Vue Methodist Chapel on Lower Oxford Street and South Parade. Was United Methodist prior to the Union in 1932, and was still in use in 1940. Now converted to a private residence. NZ 509 315. Its former Sunday Schools stand adjacent, and the inscriber stone reads "BELLE VUE SCHOOLS A.D. 1871". Both © Martin Richter (2011).

Browning Avenue Baptist Church on Browning Avenue also has a sign saying Providence Baptist Church. Another view. NZ 498 313. Both © Martin Richter (2011).

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Catcote Road and Marlowe Road. Another view. NZ 494 309. Both © Martin Richter (2011).

Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on Ashgrove Avenue. Howard Richter's analysis of old maps show that Belle Vue Congregational Church (built between the wars) stood on this site. He strongly suspects that some of the fabric of this earlier building is included in the present church. Can you confirm? Marriage registers for the old church (Congregational/U.R.C.) exist between 1924 and 1984, so the Witnesses must have moved in after the latter date. NZ 507 312. © Martin Richter (2011).

Oxford Road Baptist Church also serves as the Orb Centre, "Community Resource and Drop-in Centre". NZ 50 313. © Martin Richter (2011).
