Two stained glass windows commemorate Charles Leslie Dundas (1847 - 1932) who was the Dean of Hobart from 1885 to 1895. He also held the office of Archdeacon of Dorset. 

Born into an ecclesiastical family on 1 November 1847, he was educated at The King`s School, Canterbury, and Brasenose College, Oxford. He was ordained in 1870. After a curacy at St Peter`s, Bournemouth, he was Vicar of Charlton Kings from 1875 until his appointment as Dean of Hobart and Administrator of the Diocese of Tasmania, a post he accepted in 1885 and held for a decade. During this time he was recommended as a suitable candidate for the Bishopric of Tanzania, but was not appointed.
