St Mary's Conduit is a medieval water management structure located in Lincolnshire. The conduit dates to the medieval period and represents an important example of the infrastructure developed to supply water to religious or urban settlements. Such conduits were typically constructed as stone or brick structures designed to channel water from a source to a designated point of distribution, serving practical needs within monastic communities or town centres. The survival of this structure provides evidence of medieval engineering practices and the organisation of water supply systems in the region.
