Carfax Conduit

The Carfax Conduit was a water conduit that supplied the city of Oxford with water from 1610 until 1797, when the structure was replaced with a smaller cistern that continued to supply water to the city until 1869. The original structure was given to the Earl Harcourt, who re-erected it on this site.
