From 1963 to 1998 she was a member of the British Diplomatic Service. She served in, among other places, such hot spots as Israel, Eastern Europe, and Northern Ireland. Her final Diplomatic position was as British Ambassador to the Holy See (1995–1998), the first woman to fill that post.

She also indexes a number of non-Centre publications, and occasionally translates (e.g. Prosper Weil's The Law of Maritime Delimitation for the University of Cambridge).^[1] She was editor of The Indexer, the international journal of indexing, from 2004 to 2018.^[2]
