Legacy
Of more than thirty treatises chiefly on spiritual matters written by Father Baker, many are to be found in manuscript at Downside, Ampleforth, Stanbrook Abbey, and other Benedictine monasteries in England.
Abbot Justin McCann, Master of St Benet's Hall, Oxford (1921–47), and titular Abbot of Westminster from 1947, remains the principal modern editor and interpreter of Baker, with the claim that he is the only man since Fr Cressy to have read all two million words of his writings, always diffuse and unstructured.
