Lady Norah Beatrice Henriette Bradley-Birt VA (née Spencer-Churchill; 1 September 1875 – 28 April 1946) was an English aristocrat and educationalist.[1]

She was the daughter of George Charles Spencer-Churchill, 8th Duke of Marlborough and Lady Albertha Frances Anne Hamilton.[2]

She married Francis Bradley Bradley-Birt on 1 December 1920,[2] but continued to use her maiden name to avoid confusion with another family member.[3] Norah and her husband are known for their writings and social work for India.[4]
