The process of restoring the bell tower and repointing the western facade is well underway, the stone of which was broken and damaged. This work has only been possible through the generous assistance of Tasmania’s State Government, who provided a grant to fund the expert stonemason skills required for this restoration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616564e5701e97297f4ac8da/81ea130a-ea86-4e4c-bd23-79e1ad446647/BC+old+BW+pic+.jpg Home - 175th Anniversary 15 January 2025 marked the 175th Anniversary of the consecration of St John the Baptist Church. The Courier of Hobart reported at the time: “The Church at Prosser's Plains was consecrated on the 15th instant. The singular beauty of the fabric has been heard of in many quarters, and was doubtless a contributing cause to the gathering of a considerable congregation, who came to witness and give thanks for its dedication”. Thanks to all Friends and Supporters who have made it possible to now preserve the church for use as a community space for all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616564e5701e97297f4ac8da/1634900883338-1ZVLO6DFX0LSF6IU4TX0/Buckland+Church+window+from+inside.jpeg Home - History Buckland Church, like many historic buildings in Tasmania, was built by convicts. Designed in the tradition of old English chapels, in this case as a replica of the church at Cookham Dean in Sussex, England, Buckland Church is a simple building of sandstone. The foundation stone was laid in 1846, and the building completed 4 years later. The incomparable stained glass window behind the altar - brought to Buckland by the Reverend F H Cox, Rector of the church 1846-48 - was reported in 1850 as "the work of Mr. O'Connor, a London artist". Visit the church and see it for yourself! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616564e5701e97297f4ac8da/1634562623395-YL6RY9YDSCOC9OBJNI51/BC+from+graveyard.jpeg Home Graveyards There are 3 graveyards; one in the immediate church grounds, with headstones denoting burials back to the mid-1800’s. The second graveyard sits outside the church walls and is a more modern cemetery, with headstones dated within the past few years. Many local families have relatives in these graveyards. The 3rd graveyard sits across the road and remains the property of the Anglican church: these graves are currently the subject of an identification project to ascertain the names and histories of the people buried there. With the church now belonging to the community, FOBC is responsible for the graveyards and burials. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616564e5701e97297f4ac8da/1634042682887-UCQRSO7NPSYQNAE92T4D/Buckland+church+inside.jpeg Home - Events for everyone FOBC hosts and encourages functions and events at the church, from the more traditional functions such as weddings and funerals to contemporary concerts, art exhibitions and other gatherings in response to community inputs.
