World War II codebreaking centre Bletchley Park was home to the world's first codebreaking supercomputer Colossus, which cracked codes used to encipher messages between Hitler's high command.
Bletchley has been appealing for money for a major conservation and renovation effort, in particular to mend the crumbling roof of the building.
The campaign received a major boost when it got a £330,000 grant from English Heritage recently.
