GB 0074 CLC/417 1888-1951 Collection 5 volumes. Diocese of Western China

The Church Missionary Society began activities in Western China in 1891, establishing an outpost in Chungking [Chongqing] in Szechwan [Sichuan] Province. By 1894 they had expanded to Mienchow, Chungpa, Anhsien, and Sintu. They were supervised by the Bishop of Mid-China, but he found it impossible to supervise a district which was geographically far removed from his own. Therefore a separate Diocese was created, and the Reverend William Wharton Cassels was appointed Bishop in 1895.

The records of the Diocese of Western China were deposited in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library in April 1977. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Records of the Diocese of Western China, comprising registers of baptisms and marriages and baptism and marriage certificate books.
