Monument record TR 15 NE 38 - Conduit House, Christ Church Canterbury

Summary

A small rectangular medieval building with a brick barrel vaulted roof. At the west end is a four-centred doorway. It was built originally in the 12th century as part of Prior Wilberts waterworks but most of the present building is probably 19th century. The east wall had been damaged by vandals and the building was in poor condition (2), but in 1981 Canterbury Archaeological Trust cleared the building of rubble and restored the water supply.
