The House that Moved in Exeter
Image: © Anthony Volante Taken: 26 Feb 2010
The House that Moved is at Stepcote Hill beside St Mary Steps Church, Exeter. It is a small timber-framed house dating from 1471, one room wide but three storeys high. It created a bit of a sensation when it was threatened by road expansion in 1961. Rather than demolish it they decided to move it! It was put on rollers and moved to its current location, some 70 metres (75 yards) from the original place.
