Buckland Church

Buckland Church — St John the Baptist — was built in 1846 from local sandstone and contains one of the most remarkable objects in Tasmania: a stained glass window dating from the 14th century, said to have been salvaged from Battle Abbey in England. The combination of the convict-built sandstone exterior and this extraordinary medieval glass interior gives the church a depth of history that is genuinely remarkable.

The village of Buckland itself is small and quiet, set in rolling agricultural land between the Tasman Highway and the eastern ranges. For ceremonies of particular historical or spiritual weight, Buckland Church offers a setting that carries centuries of meaning.
