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

Westcott House occupies part of the site formerly occupied by Radegund Manor and runs between No. 37 Jesus Lane and All Saints Church.

In 1896 this area was occupied by 8 lodging houses known as the 'Barracks'. The Borough Council demanded that the houses should be connected to its new main sewer and to avoid the expense the College decided to sell it to the trustees for a Clergy Training College.

The houses and remains of the Manor House gardens (see: JCAD/3/CAM/JESL/59) were valued at £2,800 but the Borough Council had laid down a new frontage line for Jesus Lane which was narrower here than elsewhere. They refused to purchase this piece of frontage unless they could also buy the piece of ground in front of the All Saints' Church. This piece had been reserved by the College when it gave up the site for the Church, and so was able to get the full value from the Borough Council. This enabled it to reduce the price to Westcott House to £2,575.

Initially Westcott House only occupied the building along the Jesus Lane frontage. In 1910 they planned to extend by building a row of houses on the east side of Malcolm Street. The College objected as it thought this would adversely effect the value of its houses in Malcolm Street. Westcott House agreed not to build higher than 2 storeys if the College would sell them a portion of the vacant site between their property and the vicarage. This upset the Vicar who was compensated by the College giving the remainder of the site to the vicarage, including the piece of land to the east end of the Church. In 1968 the College repurchased from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners a small piece of land at the south end of the vicarage garden.
