Two stained glass windows commemorate Arthur Richard Rivers (1857 - 1940) who was the Dean of Hobart.

Ordained in 1882 Rivers began his career with a curacy in Painswick. Emigrating to Australia he was Precentor of Sydney Cathedral and Chaplain to the Primate of Australia. Moving to Queensland he was Rector of St Michael, Brisbane and then St Andrew in the same city. He was Archdeacon of Burnett and Wide Bay from 1896 to 1905; and of Toowoomba from then until his appointment as Dean of Hobart.
