Sarah Kathleen Elinor Baring (née Norton; 20 January 1920 – 4 February 2013) was an English socialite and memoirist, who worked for three years as a linguist at Bletchley Park, the principal centre of Allied code-breaking during the Second World War.

Despite the "terrible feeling of fear" in the city they were not disturbed, Sarah said, because the Germans knew that they were English and wanted to maintain good British-German relations.

[1] During the war, she worked for Vogue and the Baltimore Sun for a short time, then as a telephonist at an Air Raid Precautions Centre, before building Hurricane fighter planes at a Hawker Siddeley factory close to Slough.

[4] In her later years, Baring wrote a memoir about her time in pre-war London society and at Bletchley Park, The Road To Station X.

The couple amicably divorced in 1953, after which she married Lt-Col Thomas Michael Baring, a former 10th Royal Hussars officer, polo player, and fine art consultant.
