Chancel Window {North), at St John the Baptist, Buckland, Tasmania, by Michael O'Connor, the same London firm that also designed and sent out the East window (an article about the church consecration published in the Hobart Courier of 23 January 1850, explains that "a large eastern window of three lights, and a smaller one of two lights in the northern side.... are filled with stained glass, the work of Mr. O’Connor, a London artist…" (2)).
