George ’s first printed work, A Catalogue of Books, Poems, Tracts, and Small Detached Pieces, produced in an edition of just 20 copies appeared in 1810 11. In 1978, Baker disbanded the Selection because "the pressure had become too much." The band has sold over 20 million records worldwide. However, Baker formed a new George Baker Selection in 1985, which stayed together till 1989. [7] The second version of the Selection has released twelve albums and several compilation albums. Nor did he for the theatrical avant garde. The nearest he came to anything like that was as Peggy Ashcroft's gangling son in Marguerite Duras's Days in the Trees at the Aldwych (1966), as he was embarking on his dream of theatre in East Anglia. Baker married three times: to the costume designer Julia Squires, to Sally Home, and to Ramsay, the on-screen Mrs Wexford. All three predeceased him. He is survived by four daughters from his first marriage and one from his second. Their fifth album, Paloma Blanca, was released in 1975, and the single " Paloma Blanca" reached No. 1 on charts in several countries. It sold more than seven million copies worldwide, making it one of the most successful Dutch singles ever. [2]

To have been out of the theatrical mainstream for such a period in mid-career was taking a risk, and in the early 1970s he started a business making training films. He even thought of giving up acting. But the RSC came to the rescue, and unforgettable, too, was Baker's corrupt Tiberius in I, Claudius (1976), the BBC adaptation of Robert Graves's novels about the Roman emperor Claudius that proved one of its greatest drama successes. It seems likely that Baker had underestimated the size of his planned undertaking. From the beginning, his method was to send out printed questionnaires to parish clergy seeking information on local agricultural conditions, geology, natural history, manors, antiquities, charities, and worthies. This was not his sole method of research planning a personal visit to every parish. The time and cost involved must have been significant despite him assuring John Britton ‘I travel very economically’.Whether these activities inspired him to do something better or purely fired his interest we do not know, but in 1815, aged 34, he issued proposals for his county history. Much of what we know about George Baker comes from two obituaries one that appeared in the local newspapers 5 and another from the Gentleman ’s Magazine 6. Baker was one of the artists who recorded the song Shalom from Holland (written by Simon Hammelburg and Ron Klipstein) as a token of solidarity to the Israeli people, threatened by missiles from Iraq, during the first Gulf War in 1991. From the early Christian era (325 CE) Arianism was considered a heresy by the ‘mainstream’ Christianity. Likewise, Unitarianism which denies the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) challenged the basis of beliefs of both Catholics and Protestants. Unitarians were also rejected by most Nonconformist denominations.
