The drawing room at Bletchely Park hosts an exhibition about Gordon Welchman
Welchamn , a mathematician and lecturer at the University of Cambridge, was selected as a potential codebreaker before the war began. Despite only having had a short course in cryptography before starting work at Bletchley Park . His contributions to breaking the Enigma codes included adapting Alan Turing’s design for the codebreaking Bombe machine, changing it into a workable machine. He also established Hut 6, leading the team who decrypted more than 1 million German air force and army codes.

Bletchley Park was the central site for Britain's codebreakers during World War Two. Run by the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), it regularly penetrated the secret communications of the Axis Powers – most importantly the German Enigma and Lorenz ciphers. The official historian of World War II British Intelligence has written that the "Ultra" intelligence produced at Bletchley shortened the war by two to four years, and that without it the outcome of the war would have been uncertain
