Where can I find a floor plan of Bletchley park mansion?

[JackTreby]

I am currently researching Bletchley Park mansion, the home of the WWII code-breakers, and would like to get hold of a plan of the first floor, which is currently out of bounds to the general public. I already have a full plan of the ground floor, which I found in an article published online by English Heritage, but I also need to determine the geography of the first floor, where all the bedrooms were etc. Can anyone help?

See if Buenchico can help you. I think he works or worked for BT near or in Bletchley.

I haven't found a plan but I have looked at the family living there on the 1901 and 1891 census, the family of Sir Herbert Samuel Leon, when he died in 1926 his estate was valued at £726,816. 19s 4d. In 1891 he had 4 children and 10 servants as well as his wife living at the Park. In 1901 there was just him and his wife at the Park with a cook, 2 kitchen maids and a scullery maid, 4 housemaids and a footman, and a lady;s maid, no butler living at the house, nor in any of the cottages in the grounds, but he had a dozen gardeners and several grooms
The Park was not built until after the 1881 census but there was a Bletchley Park Hotel at that site on the Bletchley Road in 1871.
herbert was a broker on the London Stock exchange and he sailed to New York several times in the late 1800s whilst he was a Member of Parliament.
This is Mrs Fanny leon, his second wife:

Fanny died at Bletchley January 20 1937 just after the picture was taken, in her will she left an estate off just £22065. 17s 2d, her son George Edward Leon had already inherited the Baronetcy after his father died.

I doubt BT would have much of interest about Bletchley. In 1990 after they had no further use for it they tried to have the house demolished so that they could sell the entire site for housing development. Fortunately Milton Keynes Council stepped inm and had the site declared a conservation area.
