Coombe Conduit is a sixteenth-century water supply structure located in Surrey, England. The conduit was constructed as part of the water management infrastructure serving the local area during the Tudor period, reflecting the growing attention to engineered water distribution in early modern England. The monument survives as a brick-built structure and represents an important example of Renaissance-period utility architecture, demonstrating the technical capabilities and administrative organisation required to maintain water supplies to communities and potentially to larger estates or institutions during this era.
