Comments

The former St John the Baptist Anglican Church, Murrayville has closed, and the property was sold about 2021. Anglican services began in Murrayville about 1911, being held in the local hall until the first church building, a wooden structrue, was opened about 1913. The present church building was opened on 11/8/1929, having been funded by a bequest from Charles Porter Last. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 28/3/2021.
