Comments

The former St Paul's Anglican Church, Henty was part of the Parish of Lower Glenelg and the Diocese of Ballarat. The church has now closed, and the property was sold in February 2021. The church building was erected in 1936 on land gifted by Louisa Henty. It was consecrated on 14/12/1936 by the Right Rev W H Johnson, Bishop of Ballarat. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photograph uploaded 22/5/2022.
