John Francis Harcourt Baring, 7th Baron Ashburton, was a Non-executive Director of the Bank of England from March 1, 1983 until February 28, 1991. As the eldest son of Alexander Baring, 6th Baron Ashburton, and Doris Harcourt, he descended from both the Baring and Harcourt elite bloodlines.

His maternal grandparents were Lewis Harcourt, 1st Viscount Harcourt, and Mary Ethel Burns, daughter of Walter Hayes Burns of New York City. Mary Ethel Burns was also the granddaughter of Junius Spencer Morgan and niece of American banking magnate J. P. Morgan. Therefore, he was descended from the elite Morgan banking bloodline as well.
