Excavation by Exeter Museums Archaeological Field Unit in 1983, in advance of demolition revealed structural evidence from the 13th century. In the mid 14th century there were probably two houses on the site of Nos 34-38. Major reconstruction occurred in the 16th century, but little evidence of internal divisions remained. The modern No 38 was completely rebuilt in 1843.
