The son of Montague Baker-Bere and Wilhelmina Jemima Sandford, he was born in January 1829 at Marylebone.[1] He was educated at Rugby School,[2] before going up to Christ Church, Oxford in 1848. He graduated B.A. in 1852, M.A. in 1868[3]
After graduating from Oxford, he took holy orders in the Anglican Church, with his first ecclesiastical posting as rector of Uplowman coming in 1858. He later served as the vicar of Morebath in 1885, where he died four years later in May 1889.[2] He was survived by his wife, Frances Lydia Dyke Troyte, with whom he had two children.[1] His nephew, Arthur Hook, also played first-class cricket.
While at Uplowman, he met Jane Montgomery Campbell. She translated some German hymns for Bere's book: A Garland of Songs in 1862, and later in his Children's Chorale Book (1869). One of her translations contained the text written by Matthias Claudius: Wir pflügen und wir streuen, which became a classic as the quintessential harvest hymn: We Plough the Fields and Scatter.[8]
