The House That Moved is a historic building in Exeter, originally built in the late Middle Ages and relocated in 1961 when the entire street it was on was demolished to make way for a new bypass road linked to the replacement of the city's bridge over the River Exe.

[21][16] Exeter City Council was able to get a grant of £7,000 from the government (towards a total cost of over £8,000) to pay for a specialist London contractor to effect the move.

[4] The building was in a poor state of repair and in order to move it, it was stripped back to just the wooden frame which still weighed 30 long tons (67,000 lb),[22] which was then reinforced with a timber framework weighing a further 10 long tons (22,000 lb), which avoided using any metal screws or bolts.

[11][16] Iron wheels were attached on the corners, and steel rails laid, and jacks were also added to ensure that the top-heavy house could be kept level during the move.

On Tuesday 12,[23][24] Edmund Street was closed to traffic by the police, and the 70 metres (77 yd) move up the 1:10 gradient hill was slowly completed using air-compressor driven winches.

[9] Once in place, the house was cemented down, and went through a full refurbishment, including extensive treatment for woodworm.

[27] The reconstruction following the move did not replace the dormer windows in the cockloft, and also did not replace the later shopfront porch, and indeed moved the front door around the corner to the side which previously faced Frog Street and now faces West Street and the church.
