"Campaigners hoping to restore dilapidated Bletchley Park, where Second World 
War code-breakers deciphered the German Enigma machine,
have received a major boost with a £330,000 English Heritage grant to repair 
the roof.

Seeping rainwater has threatened the structure of the Grade II listed Victorian 
Gothic building near Milton Keynes, described as being as important as the 
Cabinet War Rooms.

The Bletchley Park Trust spent £100,000 starting repairs on the Victorian roof 
this summer but ran out of money.

Simon Greenish, director of the trust, said the work was the "first really big 
step" in saving the building and turning it into a "world class" £10 million 
education and heritage centre."
