In World War II, an ornate Victorian mansion overlooking the River Thames at Medmenham was the Headquarters of the Allied Central Interpretation Unit. An analytical mind, curiosity, the ability to search for clues and recognize the unusual were essential qualities for the Interpreters and found in men and women from scientific and artistic backgrounds.
