St. Mary (R.C.). © Peter Morgan. Previously listed as St. Bede, Diane Ross has suggested that it might in
fact be St. Mary (R.C.) just off Wearmouth Bridge. I've been unable to find photos of either church on the web, but its description in Pevsner is consistent
with this being the case. A photo from Alan Blacklock confirms it.

Bishopwearmouth
St. Gabriel on St. Gabriel's
Avenue, Chester Road, and Kayll Road.
Another view. Both © Peter
Morgan (2019). The history page on the
church website says that this is the third church on the site. The two
earlier ones were a "tin tabernacle" of 1898, which was quickly replaced by a
mission church in 1902. This survives (though it has been moved to a slightly
different location) as the current church hall. The present church was
consecrated in 1912. Geograph has a photo showing the
church hall.
Grade II listed.

A church on Newcastle Road, clearly marked on the OS map (at NZ
3930 5925), this
building had no
indication of use. © Steve Bulman. Lou has been in touch to advise that it's now
the Fulwell Grange Kindergarten, and she thinks it was a Methodist Church. Not
Methodist, advises Howard Richter, but a former Christian Science Church,
showing as such on the 1958-1972 1:1250 O.S. map. As the land was given over to
allotments at the time of the 1955 map, it seems likely that the C. S. Church
built it. James's photo shows it with a business sign added.

Grangetown
Cemetery Chapel at Ryhope
Road Cemetery.
© James Murray. Another view,
© Norman Cummings (2014), who also advises that this is usually referred to as the North Chapel.
Grade II listed. A short distance away is another building,
which Norman not unreasonably describes as the South Chapel, though he has been unable to find
confirmatory evidence that this was its designation. It may have had, or was intended to have, a spire.

Chapel House
(residential) on Gilbert Road stands on the site of a Methodist Chapel. © Peter
Morgan (2019). This may be the Methodist Chapel mentioned
here in which case it had a relatively short life, from 1950-7, when it was
sold to the Lutherans. Confirmation would be appreciated.
