(former) Frankford Uniting Church
Wesleyan/Uniting Church, Ross
Opened in 1885, replacing an older chapel.
The old sanctuary, in which the Wesleyan Methodists of Ross and its neighbourhood have worshipped for nearly half a century, and which has became endeared to them by the associations of the past, being found unsuitable for present requirements, and the building itself fast falling to decay, it was therefore decided in the month of May, 1870, the Rev. F. E. Stephenson being superintendent of the circuit, to commence as soon as practicable the erection of this building, of which today two memorial stones are to be laid, one by Mrs. Horton, relict of the late Samuel Horton, Esq., of Somercotes, and one by Mrs. Parramore, relict of the late Thomas Parramore, Esq., of Wotmore and Beaufront.
The Examiner, 15 December 1882
That stone at the base of the tower says:
These stones from the old chapel are erected as a memorial to the pioneer Methodists of Ross, 1935

(former) Wesleyan Chapel, Launceston
Built and opened in 1835.
Location on Google Maps
An earlier chapel was built further along the street, just past George St, where the Anglican Holy Trinity Church is now. In the 1860s, the congregation out grew the chapel and a larger church was built next door, which is now the Pilgrim Uniting Church. This former chapel is now the church hall.

Paterson St Methodist/Pilgrim Uniting Church, Launceston
Opened 21 February 1868, after the congregation outgrew the original Wesleyan Chapel next door, which is now the church hall. The name was changed in 1982 after the joining of three congregations (see below) with the creation of the Uniting Church. The website provides a account of the background and construction of the church (Pilgrim History for Web near bottom of page).
Church, Legerwood
In 2005, this was the B.L.R Community Church, part of the Uniting Church. I am not sure what it was originally built as. There was a Presbyterian Church at Legerwood, but there are also references to a Methodist Chruch.
For sale in 2010 (interior photos).
