Conduit Head is a 1910 house located off the Madingley Road (A1303) on the western outskirts of Cambridge, England.
The architectural historians Simon Bradley and Nikolaus Pevsner describe the house as "gabled, rural and relaxed".
[1] Conduit Head was owned by Sir Peter Lachmann (1931–2020), Sheila Joan Smith Professor of Immunology at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Christ's College, and his wife Sylvia.
The water from the conduit head used to flow into central Cambridge in wooden pipes that passed underneath the River Cam.
An archaeological dig several years back discovered a Roman settlement nearby with paths in the direction of the conduit head.
