Acklington, St. John the Divine. Its grade II listing dates it to 1860. NU 2272 0189. © Steve Bulman. Another view, © Bill Henderson (2013). Link.
Acomb, St. John of Beverley, which stands about ½ a mile south of the village. NY 9331 6571. © Bill Henderson (2011). Link.
Grade II* listed, wherein it's dated to 1843, on a medieval site. The Methodist Church was originally Primitive Methodist, of 1871. NY 9281 6643. It can be seen here on a Streetview from 2009. Link. The village also had a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, at NY 9301 6643. Pre-dating a map of 1896, it is labelled (as W. Meth. Ch.) in 1924, and on the next available map of 1952, it is present but not labelled, so presumably had closed. The housing now on the site can be seen here, from Streetview in 2009.

Alnmouth, St. John the Baptist (1876) on Northumberland Street. NU 2465 1056. © David Gallimore. Interior view, © Richard Roberts (2019). Link. Grade II listed.

Hanwick Hall, which Peter advises is "thought to have been Methodist". The same building can be seen from the other side in this old photo. Notwithstanding this, I can find no web text reference to Hanwick Hall, so can you confirm that it was indeed a Methodist Chapel? © Peter Morgan (2009). David Gallimore has sent a photo of Hindmarsh Hall, which is evidently the same building as Hanwick Hall. Previously a granary and corn exchange, it was converted to serve as a church in 1859, in which use it continued until 1876 when St. John was opened. © David Gallimore. Link.

Belford, St. Mary. NU 1085 3400. © Bill Henderson. Link.
Grade II listed. The former Scotch Church (1776) on West Street. Originally built for Scottish Presbyterian migrant workers, the congregation soon split into two separate factions, one moving out and founding a new church (Erskine Church) on Nursery Lane. The Scotch Church had ceased as a place of worship by 1924, and the building was subsequently used as the village Memorial Hall, and latterly as a community club. It has recently been sold and will be converted for residential use. NU 1062 3384. © Richard Roberts (2018). Erskine U.R.C. (1777, originally Presbyterian) on Nursery Lane. Interior view.

Glanton, St. Andrew, Anglican and U.R.C. NU 069 145. It dates to before 1895, when it is shown on an old map as Presbyterian Chapel (Scotch). On a visit in 2008, I could only find this one church, despite the OS map showing two. Also, Pevsner (revised edition, 2001) lists only the U.R.C. church, originally Presbyterian, but doesn't give it a dedication. GENUKI lists a St. Peter, but this Glanton newsletter from 2005 mentions the up-coming closure of this church. Presumably St. Peter has been demolished, and the now combined CoE and U.R.C. was re-named St. Andrew after 2005. Unless you know better.....   © Steve Bulman. Howard Richter has been doing some investigation, and advises that St. Peter appears to have been built as a Mission Room, in ca. 1896 (absent from 1895 map, present on 1897 version), at grid ref. NU 0713 1447. The 1976 map shows this as "St. Peter's Church (CofE)", and it still shows on the 1981-2 map. Strangely, the current on-line Ordnance Survey map still shows a church at this grid ref. You can also use this to orient the Google Earth aerial image to see what might be the church foundations.

Unbelievably, I completely missed the building immediately to its east, the former St. Edward (R.C.), which can be seen here in a Streetview from 2016. NU 0125 3962. Grade II listed, which dates it to 1861. A well-disguised former Primitive Methodist Chapel stands on the Main Street, at NU 0174 3974. Seen on Streetview in 2016, it's dated here to 1860, where there are more photos, including one of the date-stone. The 25" O.S. map of 1899 also marks two Presbyterian Chapels. One stood fairly close to the P.M. chapel at NU 0169 3969. Demolished, it stood somewhere behind the building with the French doors, as seen here by Streetview in 2010. The other survives, on Cheviot View, at NU 0144 3951, and was seen by Streetview in 2009. This was Presbyterian Church of Scotland, dated in its grade II listing to 1821. This source details a split from that congregation in 1848 to form an English Presbyterian church - presumably the one which has been demolished. Its closure is dated to 1935.
