Baring Baring-Gould was a late 19th and early 20th century Anglican missionary who is known for his work in China and India overseeing and reporting on all sites. He began his missionary work in the UK working for the Church Mission Society (CMS) straight out of schooling. Traveling abroad for the first time in 1899, Baring-Gould was sent to oversee the progress of missions across the “Far East” (India, China, Japan) and report his findings back to the CMS. Appointed as the CMS secretary of Far East and India missions, Baring-Gould's daughter, Edith Baring-Gould, accompanied her father on these missions and recorded their findings and opinions. Deeply rooted in the CMS organization, Baring-Gould was a key member to organizational and especially faith related aspects of mission projects.
