Description
During WW2 Adstock Manor was used as an outstation for Bletchley Park (Station X) for code breaking (B1).
Improved versions of the ‘Bombes’ known as ‘Jumbos’ had been introduced and to protect from German raids, they were dispersed to outstations at Wavendon and Adstock. By the end of the war there were just under 2000 bombe operators of whom 1676 were Wrens at 6 locations (B2).
