Known as 'Thorndene'

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.

Nos. 33 and 34 were built in 1844 at the expense of the College. The total cost of the two was £1400 and James Webster thought they would let for £60 each. An offer for one was at once made by a lodging house keeper who wanted to move from one of the older houses on the other side of the lane. The new houses had marble mantlepieces and a water closet was installed in No. 33. This had to be removed in 1896 as it was considered very insanitary by the then Medical Officer of Health. In 1900 No. 33 was the first house in this part of Jesus Lane to have electric light installed. The wiring was done free of charge by the Cambridge Electric Supply Co. but there was a charge of a penny a unit added to the cost of electricity to pay for this. The house was occupied as a college lodging house by the Head Porter of the College, James Hoppett. His house was the first college lodging house to have a bathroom installed, in 1908. An extension had to be built for this at the turn of the staircase between the ground and first floors. The whole work cost £40 0s 0d, half of which was defrayed by the College.

Three letters making arrangements for a licence to assign to be drawn up in favour of Messrs Laurie & McConnal and an extract from the will of Mr George Wilson.

Contains letters from P. Morley Horder to Bernard Lord Manning about plans to rebuild the corner of New Square (No. 35) to conform to the new building line suggested by the widening of the corner. He felt that it was essential to design the corner in keeping with the existing line of buildings. He comments on a plan submitted by the Land Agents J. Carter & Sons and puts forward his own plans. The file also contains a draft head lease dated 1927 with Mr H. Woodley; a printed and detailed specification of work including plans (October 1927) and a list of building contractors and estimates. Although Morley Horder favoured Messrs Rattee and Kett the College selected H. W. Hunt as his was the cheapest quote.

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.
