The Anglican church in Shanly was located on a triangular piece of land, locally referred to as the Flat Iron, east of the village intersection. It is unclear when the church was established, however business directories from the late 1800s mention its existence. The Anglican church closed in 1921 and the land was deeded back to family who owned it previously. It was used as a private dwelling for a period of time before being dismantled. The brick from the Anglican church was used in the 1930s to modernize and repair the village's general store.
