The intensity of the codebreaking operation meant it soon outgrew the confines of the mansion, spilling into the cottages in the surrounding stable yard.
It was in one of these cottages that the codebreakers first tasted success. Alfred Dillwyn Knox was believed to have broken the first German message in January 1940, five months after the GCCS moved in.
A cryptanalysist and scholar from the University of Cambridge, 55-year-old Knox was critical to Britain's efforts to crack the codes produced by the German Enigma machines.
Sadly, he never survived to see the Allies claim victory, passing away in 1943 while pursuing his codebreaking efforts.
