Radegund Manor stood on the site now occupied by Westcott House, All Saints Church and the land behind [see map]

Until 1534 it was in the tenure of John Jackson and Thomas Barret
1534 - granted to the Russells
1549 - in the occupation of Elizabeth Alanson (formerly Russell) and her second husband William Alanson
1564 - a reversionary lease was granted to William Sherewood and Richard Boswell
1553 - the house and buildings had been destroyed by fire and the College was responsible for rebuilding them. To avoid the expense they let the land and grazing rights, the barn yard, the cottages and the garden and orchard to John Lyne (butcher) who didn't need them.

1555 - Edmund Pierrepoint (new Master of Jesus College) arranged a marriage for Harold Martin (one of his relations) to marry Alice (John Lyne's daughter). The Master agreed with Lyne, as part of the marriage settlement, the surrender his lease of the Manor, at the same time buying from the Alansons the remainder of their own term of years. In return for the promise of a new lease for 90 years he promised to rebuild the Manor House at a cost of £400 (the house would have been luxurious for that period). Pierrepoint also built the two large barns at the side and back of the house.

The Martins were also given the right to demolish the houses facing Jesus Lane which would have shut off the new Manor House from the Lane (the Manor House remained standing until 1832).

1636 - when the 90 year lease to Harold Martin only had 9 years left to run it was surrendered by Nicholas Buckridge, the sitting tenant, in return for a new lease for 21 years.

1656 - Nicholas Cooke, the trustee for Buckridge's son William, renewed the lease. The Manor House was occupied by Thomas Goode LL.D.

1660 - leased to William Hetlye.

1784 - On the death of John Bullen, the lessee of Radegund Manor, his sons applied to the College to divide the lease into three. The College agreed and William Bullen had the town property. He sold the lease to John Haggerston, who asked for a building lease of that portion of the property not comprised in the grounds of the Manor House itself.

The house had been let down by Bullen's tenant who had let it out in small tenements, chiefly to poor people and had let the garden separately to a nurseryman. At first the house continued to be in the hands of Thomas Johnson, a common brewer to whom the Bullens had underlet.

1799 - John Haggerston got possession of the house and repaired it so that he could live in it (he had previously lived in No. 32 Jesus Lane).

1830 - John Haggerston's widow was still in occupation of the house. Her son in law, the Rev. Isaac Leathes (former Fellow of the College) agreed to sell the leasehold to the College for £1800. James Webster (builder) drew up a plan for the three sides of a square, in the style of New Square, to occupy the whole site of the Manor House and cottages and face the chimney entrance to the College.

1832 - the house was demolished.

The cottages were also going to be demolished under this plan. They had been rebuilt by Haggerston in 1802 as a row of 8 three storied narrow fronted houses. The College waited for the leases to run out which they did in 1856. Richard Rowe (College surveyor) said they would last many more years with very little outlay. They were used as University Lodging Houses and known as the 'Barracks'.

1888 - Richard Reynolds Rowe was asked to draw up a plan for the rest of the Manor site. He proposed demolishing the 'Barracks' and building a row of 8 houses running north to south; building a larger house with its entrance on to Jesus Lane; and building a house the same size of the vicarage to be build between the new row of houses and the vicarage. This was turned down they thought there would not be enough demand for good housing in an area which was becoming exclusively an area of University Lodging houses, for which purposes the 'Barracks' would do.

1896 - the Borough Council demanded that the houses should be connected to its new main sewer. To avoid the expense it was decided to sell the houses to the trustees for a Clergy Training College (now Wescott House). For records relating to Westcott House see: JCAD/3/CAM/JESL/27

All Saints Church
In 1862 the College offered part of the old Manor House site for a new church to replace All Saints' Church in St John's Street. The new church was built in 1863-64.

There was no vicarage as the original one in All Saints Passage had been leased until 1852 when it was sold to Trinity College to become part of the site of Whewell's Court. The Rectory of All Saints' had been appropriated to the Priory of St Radegund in the late 12th century and the Church had always been served by a Fellow of the College. The College agreed that there needed to be a vicarage to go with the new Church and so they offered the site beyond the east end of the Church and the gap in the Jesus Lane frontage reserved for the service road was let to the vicar on an annual tenancy until it should be needed.
