The Conduit House is part of the monastic waterworks which supplied nearby St Augustine's Abbey.

The remains of this medieval conduit house stand in King’s Park, Canterbury, on a steep west-facing hillside to the east of St Augustine’s Abbey, whose spring water supply it was built to protect.

A reliable supply of fresh water was an essential element of the infrastructure of a monastic community. The location of rivers and streams was often a significant factor in deciding the precise site of monastic houses, but within a town local supplies might be polluted.

This delightful Charles II house is an extraordinary example of a Kent country home. Owletts and its gardens have many treasures, especially from when it was home to its most famous owner Sir Herbert Baker, whose architectural influences can still be found throughout the house.

Sir Herbert Baker (1862-1946) was one of the leading British architects of the late 19th and early 20th-century. This was his family home and he generously donated it to the nation in 1938.
