Wavendon Manor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wavendon Manor is a 16th-century house on Cross End Road, near Wavendon in Buckinghamshire.[1][2][3] It is a Grade II listed building.[1][2][3]
World War II
During World War II the house was a Bombe outstation to the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park from March 1941.[3] At the end of that year it housed five Bombes, and the site operated until January 1944, when the fourteen bombes were sent to other sites.[3] Other outstations included Gayhurst, Adstock Manor, Eastcote and Stanmore.[3]
After the war a group from TICOM including Lt. Paul Whitaker brought codebreaking equipment they had captured at Rosenheim, Bavaria, to the manor for testing against Soviet encrypted signals.[4]
