Description
Conduit House is an early 14th century structure that served as a conduit house, collecting water from wells and springs for the public water supply in Southampton. The collection of water began around 1290 by the Franciscan Friars, and the system was handed over to the town council in 1420. This building is one of the earliest known examples of a municipally controlled water supply on such a scale. It is a single-storey stone building featuring a stone pitched roof and has one blocked slit window. The doorcase is adorned with a shouldered lintel. Conduit House is also scheduled as an ancient monument.
