The former St Deny's Anglican Church, Wirrulla is now closed, and the property is liste for sale. Anglican services were began in the district about 1904 by the Rev W H Howard. His daughter, Osythe Doley laid the foundation stone for the present church building. The church held its final service on 1/4/2018, conducted by the Bishop of Willochra, John Stead. In recent years the property has also been used by the Uniting and Catholic congregations. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 11/1/2019.
