It was part of the parish of St John the Baptist's Church, Crawley. The building was extended in the mid-1960s. It is a simple brick hall with windows in the clerestory and a small flèche on the roof. Its role as a church has been downgraded since 2005, when weekly services ceased; occasional services are still held, but its principal use is now by New Generation Performing Arts, formerly the Louise Ryrie School of Dance and Drama. The parish of St Richard's Church, Three Bridges now covers Northgate and is involved with New Generation, which it describes as "a Christian performing arts group for children and young people". Crawley's main Methodist church, St Paul's, was built in the neighbourhood centre in 1953–55. A new church was built alongside in 1966 and the original building became the church hall. The 1966 building is polygonal and has a multi-gabled copper roof. There is exposed timberwork inside. A Kingdom Hall was built for Jehovah's Witnesses on a nearby site in 1983. It was registered for worship in April 1983 (originally on behalf of the Ifield Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses) and for marriages in 1991. Separate infants and junior schools were opened by West Sussex County Council in 1954, replacing a temporary school provided two years previously. They became a first school and a middle school respectively when education facilities in the town were reconfigured in 1971. Like the other New Town schools, it was designed by West Sussex county architect F.R. Steele. The schools have now been amalgamated into one entity called Northgate Primary School; it takes children from ages 3 (nursery class) to 11 (Year 6). Many of the neighbourhood pubs made architectural reference to the Regency style and have been altered over the years. The example at Northgate, the Black Dog, has a "jolly Regency bow". A temporary hut for community activities was built in Northgate by 1954; it was replaced by the present community centre, a permanent building, in 1963. The following year, its lease was one of the first to be taken on by the Crawley Council for Voluntary Service, which operated all the neighbourhoods' community centres by the mid-1980s. Also in 1964 a separate youth club building was erected. There is a Territorial Army centre on
