One of the most famous men to have worked at Bletchley Park was Alan Turing, who worked in this wooden hut. The hut, one of eventually a dozen on the site, was rapidly built after the codebreaking efforts overspilled from both the mansion and the surrounding cottages.
Turing is often considered to be the father of modern computing, devising the Turing machine, the Turing test and the Manchester Mark I, one of the world's first recognisable computers.
A Cambridge graduate, Turing was critical to Britain's codebreaking efforts, co-developing the Bombe codebreaking machine that decoded messages from the German Enigma machines.
