St Augustine's Conduit House
Heritage Open Day: Join us at St Augustine’s Conduit House for a special Heritage Open Days talk about St Augustine's Conduit House and learn about the important role it once played in providing fresh water to St Augustine's Abbey. Uncover the hidden history of St Augustine’s Conduit House—an unassuming structure with a remarkable past.
Tucked away on the hillside above Canterbury, this 13th-century building once played a crucial role in supplying fresh spring water to the monks of St Augustine’s Abbey. Ingeniously designed, the Conduit House collected water and channelled it nearly a mile downhill to support daily life at one of England’s most significant monastic sites.
