Considerable controversy has arisen with reference to the age and origin of the very beautiful East Window of St. John the Baptist. The only authentic reference to the origin of the window is the report in the ‘Hobart Town Courier’ of Wednesday 15th January, 1850, (my research could not find this reference) which claims they are “the work of Mr. O’Connor, a London artist”. The East window is of such outstanding quality that several legendary stories are current with regard to its origin, the salient points of which are that it was buried for safety during the Cromwellian Rebellion, that it was connected with a church built by William the Conqueror, and that it was sent out to Tasmania through the agency of the first Rector of Buckland, the Revd. F. H. Cox; unfortunately the one person who could have solved the riddle of its origin chose to maintain a strict silence with regard to it. In some respects this was typical of Mr. Cox, whose reticent nature led him to maintain a similar secrecy with regard to the origin of the many valuable gifts for which he was personally responsible. / An examination of the window itself makes it possible to determine its approximate date as between 1350 and 1400. / Reference: History of the window by the Revd.
