There is not much in the memory of George Baskerville.
In some instances he is not even known, save for a building or a road.
Baskerville was, however, a man of God who brought Christianity to Kyaggwe and Bugerere.
He loved his lord and missionary work and so did his wife, Rosette, they both learnt Luganda, the native tongue and invested time writing and teaching.

While as Archdeacon to the Bishop of Uganda, Baskerville wrote correspondence while his wife wrote folk tales from Buganda traditions.
According to notes from the Uganda Diocesan Gazette, if Baskerville had not come to Mukono, the church would have taken a lot longer to move out of the Buganda capital.
Even thought the Church Missionary Society, (CMS), missionaries landed in Uganda in 1879, they had never ventured out of Buganda Kingdom’s capital, Mengo.
Baskerville had only arrived in the territory a few months back with The Bishop Alfred Tucker as part of a party of reinforcements for the faith in 1892.
According to an Autobiography of Baskerville taken as a part of a larger memoir of the Church of Uganda entitled, ‘Uganda Notes and Diocesan Gazette of January 1913’, Kyaggwe was the first district selected outside of Buganda’s capital for the spread of Christianity.
The first church in Kyaggwe was set up by Baskerville at Kikusa hill (Present day Ngogwe Parish)
“In their service in Kyaggwe, Baskerville alongside Rev. D.A Crabtree had baptised over 40 converts and had set up classes that took over 500 people in a short period of time.”
This success was also largely attributed to the friendship that existed between the then chief of Kyaggwe, Timoteo Nkangi, and CMS missionaries.
“He at one point readily offered to give up his chieftainship for a deacon’s, role despite the immense power that he wielded in the kingdom,” Baskerville wrote in the Gazette.
 But like all churches, the church in particularly Bugerere did not have a smooth ride.
The church in Kyaggwe developed more because of a host of reasons and a combination of able leadership from the chieftaincies and a population that was willing to embrace the church. Kyaggwe also had much more favourable climatic conditions.  
“The terrain of Kyaggwe was hilly and healthy,” in Bugerere, however, it was mostly flat with a number of swamps and an infestation of ‘the mbwa’ flies that caused untold suffering to natives and missionaries alike.
Baskerville once wrote that the place was so unbearable; one had to have a dose of quinine at all times.
There was also a disastrous attack of sleeping sickness that wiped out an entire population on the Buvuma Islands and the strike of local church leaders in Nakanyonyi in 1907.
The strike at Nakanyonyi eventually led to the permanent closure of the European Mission Station there in 1913.
Bugerere was under Nakanyonyi. The problems in the area and the rift that caused the strike (a disagreement with church leaders from Mengo) have had a marked bearing on Bugerere.
Some of which it has never recovered from to this day.

 Baskerville at BBTC
Baskerville was a multi-talented man. He was a builder, an official scribe of the church of Uganda and a friend to those around him.
He designed the building at UCU which is now named after him and hosts the offices of department of Development and External Relations, (DER).
This building was completed in 1921 and named after George Baskerville; it is located below the Standard and GSI buildings and above the Business Faculty building.
When it had just been completed, it acted as a store for the people who were building the Bishop Tucker building that was completed in 1925, between 1946 and 1956, it acted as a dormitory.
In 1989 Baskerville building housed the office of the Dean of students. It also housed classrooms in the 2000s.
George Baskerville was born in 1867 and arrived in Mukono in 1892 where he served as a missionary before moving on as Archdeacon from 1912 to 1922.
As a builder, Baskerville built house No.2 that is currently occupied by the DVC DER, Dr. John Senyonyi.
Baskerville used this house for his abode while at Mukono, after his departure, the house was used by BTTC wardens, who were present day equivalents of vice-chancellors.
Baskerville’s house was build in a way that he had a view of Hamu Mukasa’s house who was a close friend and also the man who gave the land on which UCU is build today.
At that time Hamu Mukasa’s house was at the present day Mukono district offices.
He returned to the UK and passed on in 1941 after a colourful career in ministry.
