The Blue Plaque says it was his family's home which I assume means he lived here.

; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English
[6]
mathematician
,
computer scientist
,
logician
,
cryptanalyst
,
philosopher
and
theoretical biologist
.
[7]
Turing was highly influential in the development of
theoretical computer science
, providing a formalisation of the concepts of
algorithm
and
computation
with the
Turing machine
, which can be considered a model of a
general-purpose computer
.
[8]
[9]
[10]
Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and
artificial intelligence
.
[11]
Despite these accomplishments, he was not fully recognised in his home country during his lifetime, due to his
homosexuality
, and because much of his work was covered by the
Official Secrets Act
.
