Scope and content
The garden next to Sidney Sussex College wall and the close behind it had not been included in the third lease granted to John Haggerston in 1788. John Bullen still held the lease and by 1812 a house had been built there and was occupied by a man called Leach. In 1815 the College agreed to let this lease run out. A development plan was made by James Webster (a Cambridge builder who also designed Malcolm Street), and Nos. 35, 36 and 37 were built. Nos. 36 and 37 were held by Webster himself on a 40 year lease.

From 1963–1987 it was used by Canon Mark Rushton as the Vicarage for the Round Church before a new vicarage was built in Manor Street and the house was converted to student accommodation
