The Alan Turing statue, created in slate by Stephen Kettle in 2007, is located at Bletchley Park in England as part of an exhibition on Alan Turing.[1][2] It was commissioned by the American businessman and philanthropist Sidney Frank (1919–2006).[3]

The slate for the sculpture was selected from North Wales because the sculptor learned that Turing used to holiday there as a child and adult.[1] The slate originated from Llechwedd, near Blaenau Ffestiniog. Turing is depicted seated and looking at a German Enigma machine. He is dressed in a jacket, but there is some deliberate untidiness in his clothing.

In 2007, it was commented that the statue acknowledges Turing as a codebreaker but not as a gay icon.[4] The statue became part of a new exhibition at Bletchley Park on Alan Turing in 2012, the centenary year of Turing's birth.[5] Sir John Dermot Turing, nephew of Alan Turing, attended the opening of the exhibition and posed with the statue.[6]
