During World War II the house was a Bombe outstation to the Government Code and Cipher School at Bletchley Park from March 1941. [3] At the end of that year it housed five Bombes, and the site operated until January 1944, when the fourteen bombes were sent to other sites.

After the war a group from TICOM including Lt. Paul Whitaker brought codebreaking equipment they had captured at Rosenheim, Bavaria to the manor for testing against Soviet encrypted signals. [4]
