Wavendon Manor is a 16th century house on Cross End Road, near Wavendon in Buckinghamshire.[1][2][3] It is a Grade II listed building.[1][2][3]

World War II

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.[3] Other outstations included Gayhurst, Adstock Manor, Eastcote and Stanmore.[3]
