Charles Evelyn Baring, 2nd Baron Howick of Glendale (born 30 December 1937), is a hereditary peer and a member of the Baring family. He is the son of Evelyn Baring, 1st Baron Howick of Glendale, and is well known as an arboriculturalist and plant collector. He is the creator of the Howick Arboretum at Howick Hall, one of the largest collections of wild origin plants in the United Kingdom. He was educated at Eton College and New College, Oxford.[1]

He served as a director of Barings Bank (1969–1982) and on the executive committee of the National Art Collections Fund. He was a director of Northern Rock plc (1987–2001).

Baring is married to the former Clare Nicolette Darby,[2] daughter of Col. Cyril Darby of Kemerton Court. They have four married children, and fourteen grandchildren.[3] His mother Lady Mary Cecil Grey (1907–2002) died aged 94. He inherited Howick Hall on the death of his father-in-law, Charles Grey, 5th Earl Grey, who did not pass on the ownership to the 6th Earl as his heirs opted to move out instead.
