BLETCHLEY PARK TRUST SECURES £4.6 MILLION HERITAGE LOTTERY FUND GRANT FOR 
THE RESTORATION OF CODEBREAKING HUTS

 Released : 4 Oct 2011 

A landmark victory for the Bletchley Park Trust is today announced with a 
grant of £4.6 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund  (HL F) towards th 
regeneration of Bletchley Park.  The investment will enable the 
restoration of iconic Codebreaking Huts 1, 3 and 6 and create a 
world-class visitor centre and exhibition in the currently derelict Block 
C as soon as £1.7 million in match funding has been raised.

Not only will this development allow the conservation of buildings of 
highly-significant heritage value, it will considerably improve the 
educational offering and visitor experience at Bletchley Park.
 
Bletchley Park, home of the Codebreakers, is arguably one of Britain's 
most important 20th century historical sites.  When the Codebreakers wrote 
to Churchill, in October 1941, starved of resources to do their essential 
work, Churchill immediately ordered, "Action this day !  Make sure they 
have all they want on extreme priority and report to me that this had been 
done".  Exactly seventy years on it is resonant that the Heritage Lottery 
Fund are doing as Churchill asked.  Their decision will be welcomed by the 
millions of people in this country and abroad who have supported the 
Park's restoration, and take pride in its achievements..../snip/
