Our Lady and St Augustine of Canterbury in St Mary's Street, Latchford. The church was founded in 1869 on land in Slackey Lane which had been purchased for a dual purpose school/chapel and the church was built on adjacent land, it was variously known as St Mary’s and Our Lady of the Assumption. The foundation stone for this new church of St Mary was laid in August 1901 and it was opened in October 1902 by the Bishop of Shrewsbury. It combined the congregations of both Our Lady of the Assumption when St Augustine of Canterbury Church closed in Latchford in 2005. This Grade II listed building was up for sale in 2012 when the new church was built on Knutsford Road but it seems to have survived.
