Danesfield House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Danesfield House in Medmenham, near Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England, in the Chiltern Hills is a former country house now used as a hotel and spa.
[edit] History
The previous house on the site, built in the 18th century and the home of the Scott Murray family, was demolished in 1901 and replaced by the present building.
It was requisitioned in WW2 by the Air Ministry for the RAF to set up a Joint Service Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) Unit. Danesfield House was to IMINT, what Bletchley Park was to Signals Intelligence (SIGINT).
