Brief description

"The conduit house, which covers and protects a shallow well, was built in about 1617 as part of a system constructed to take clean drinking water from the springs at North Hinksey downhill to the Carfax Conduit, a fountain in the centre of Oxford. There are some beautifully chiselled graffiti from the late 17th and 18th centuries on the exterior of the building."
