The original church (NZ 2738 6846) was built by 1916 to the immediate west of the present one. The extant church was built in 1963 as a parish hall intended to serve a future church. Those hopes were unfulfilled and the ‘hall’ became the church. The sanctuary was redesigned by David Brown in 1978 and reordered in 1990 by Les Stringer (parish files) for the church’s consecration on 13 December 1990.

Designated in March 2007. The boundary is based on Victorian and Edwardian suburban development in Benton and Forest Hall. Suburban growth features lower density detached or semi-detached houses with large back gardens such as the east side of Tynedale Terrace, Grange Avenue and Northumberland Avenue and terraced houses with small front gardens and back yards (e.g. north side of Clifton Terrace, east side of East Avenue and Queens Gardens). Benton had a great number of large houses set in extensive grounds. Some of these remain (e.g. Grove Cottage and The Gables on Thornhill Road) but others have been lost and the plots filled by modern housing - Craigmont Court was built in the 1960s or 70s on the site of Craigmont mansion and The Beeches has been built on the site of Westbourne. Open spaces within the CA include Benton Quarry Park and St. Bartholomew's churchyard. Benton's finest buildings include Field House, The Grange, Hillcrest, The Gables and 29 and 31 Lyndhurst Road. West Avenue and The Grove are worthy of mention. The metro station and the churches of St. Andrew and St. Bartholomew have true landmark qualities. Planned terraces include East Avenue, Queens Gardens and Clifton Terrace. Sandstone is used on bay windows, porches, door surrounds and quoins on brick houses. The Oval uses non-local red sandstone. The Ship Inn is built of smooth red late Victorian and Edwardian brick, like the metro station. The early to mid C20 semis on Midhurst Road and The Exchange are built in darker brown brick. Brick is used for architectural detailing to highlight windows (4 Grange Avenue), doors (25 Clifton Terrace), gables (The Grange), eaves (Queens Gardens) and chimneys (Clifton Terrace). Bricks are used for quoins (10 Tynedale Terrace) and as patterning (Station Approach). Roughcast render such as that on the first floor of The Oval, was used extensively in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. No. 1 Sandringham Avenue was a newsagents for over 100 years. Now as Black's it has lost its historic shopfront and has a plastic sign, new windows and roller shutters. Land to the east is a former quarry (HER 1124). Part of the railway infrastructure consists of the 'Benton Curve', a disued railway line that has been left to grow, forming a rich wildlife habitat.

Designated in March 2008. The boundary is based on the old village, Victorian and Edwardian growth and the bay. The cliffs and beaches of the Conservation Area have been designated as an an Area of Coastal Protection. Much of the coast is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Cullercoats was first mentioned in surveys of the 17th century under a number of names including 'Culvercoats', 'Culler Corners' and 'Collar Coates'. In 1677 a wooden pier was built at Cullercoats for exporting coal from Whitley Colliery. Soon after, two salt pans were established in the bay. Cullercoats was created as a distinct township in 1690. The Whitley and Cullercoats collieries closed in 1724 and the salt pans moved to Blyth. Cullercoats' population turned to fishing. A reprise in coal mining saw the building of the stone piers (HER 5056) in 1848. They still stand today. Around the 1820s Cullercoats began to establish itself as an artist's colony. Newcastle artist John Wilson Carmichael painted many pictures of the area. Throughout the 19th century several artists came to Cullercoats to paint the coastline, splendid buildings and the fishermen and fishwives. These included William Henry Charlton, John Falconar Slater, Robert Jobling and the world-renowned Winslow Homer, who came from North America to Cullercoats in 1881. By 1858 Cullercoats village had a school, Primitive Methodist chapel, several public houses (two Ship Inns, the Queen's Head and Newcastle Arms), saltwater baths and a lifeboat house. The village expanded rapidly by 1897. Simpson Street had been built in the style of fishermen's cottages. Beverley Terrace was more impressive. Cullercoats Station (HER 2154) was built in 1882, which saw the area grow as a tourist resort. The Rocket House (HER 5059) was built in 1867 and the watch house (HER 2215) in 1879. St. George's Church (HER 7096) was built between 1882 and 1884 for the sixth Duke of Northumberland as a memorial to his father. By 1893 Tynemouth Park (HER 9487) had opened. The Plaza Ballroom (the aquarium) had been built in 1878. By 1916 more terraces had been built north of the village such as Windsor Crescent and Promontory Terrace. To the south is Beverley Gardens with large semi-detached houses. The Dove Marine Laboratory (HER 5058) opened on the site of an earlier one in 1908. The new Marconi Wireless Radio Telegraphy Station (HER 5519) was built on Brown's Point in 1906. By 1938 Norma Crescent had been built, along with a new Fishermen's Mission and a methodist church on the corner of Eskdate Terrace. The Art Deco Park Hotel was added in 1939.

When built, Clayton House may have faced onto Bygate Road as the rear section of the house, in Georgian style, is older than the Front Street façade which is Victorian in style.

Stood opposite Bygate Farm. Refurbished in 1961. Still stands.

Dryden & Co., owners of Monkseaton Brewery (HER 1151) built these cottages in 1821 for brewery workers. They were typical of their time, with whitewashed walls, black painted doors and shutters and brick floors. They were probably named after the coronation of George IV in 1820. They were demolished in 1936 to accommodate the new Black Horse Inn (HER 12133). The middle cottage was called 'Comfy Home' and was the residence of a Sally Smith who sold homemade sweets during the 1860s {CW Steel, 2000}.

Originally known as Ye Old Monkseaton Arms. Was white rendered. The building has been much altered. A large side conservatory has been added as a porch. Known by regulars as 'The Monkey'.

This was once Village Farm's (HER 12132) turnip house. It was converted into an Anglian Chapel in 1899. The Wesleyans used it from 1913 {1}. The building was purchased in 1899 by a Colonel T.W. Elliott who converted it into a Anglican church. The Wesleyans moved here from Chapel Lane (HER 5870) in 1913. The two cannons which stood outside were from Scarborough Castle. In 1942 they were removed to be melted down for materials during the Second World War. For many years the chapel was known as 'The Gun Chapel'.

Following realignment of railway tracks, negotiations were opened between the council and North Eastern Railway with a view to laying out the land left over as a park. This was agreed and took place during the 1920s. Souter Park was named after Councillor C.W. Souter who led the negotiations. The park is a lively suburban park designed for bowls and tennis, plus a small ornamental garden at the south end. There are a variety of low stone walls, low beech hedges, jockey rails and a thick tree and hedge boundary along Osborne Gardens. Trees and shrubs line Marine Avenue and Norham Road opposite the station. There are no formal entrances, just various steps to negotiate the changes in level. There are four bowling greens and six hard tennis courts, four small pavilions and huts. The adjacent Churchill Playing fields have four full-size football pitches, a cricket field, athletics track, hard-surfaced carpark and children's play area. The Fields' main access is a wide ungated entrance at the end of Hartley Avenue, next to a small groundskeeper's bungalow. Views here are marred by rusty fencing and a large 1960s flat-roofed cricket pavilion. A pedestrian access off Marine Avenue is more attractive, with reclaimed sandstone piers and plinth wall. There is a tree-lined path from the Fields below Souter Park's tennis court. Running along the west boundary of the Fields is a public footpath on the former track bed of the gently sweeping Avenue railway branch. A metal finger post and low timber 'waggonways' sign stand at the grassed corner off Hartley Avenue.
