The wartime secrets of Audley End House and Gardens were revealed this August Bank Holiday weekend, 28th August 2016.

During the Second World War the Jacobean mansion near Saffron Walden was a secret training station for Polish soldiers.

Polish agents stationed at Audley End undertook a series of arduous training courses in all aspects of guerrilla warfare before being parachuted into occupied Europe.

In 1943, Audley End, or Secret Training Station 43, was placed exclusively under Polish control, a situation unique to the Special Operations Executive (SOE).

The training was tough and the pass-rate low, but a total of 527 agents passed through Audley End between 1941 and 1945.
