St Mary Redcliffe, church Water Pipewalk Bristol 2021 UK.
The pipe ends inside the church gate water is discharged into the trough fronting Redcliffe Hill. The Latin inscription reads, "For the health of the soul of Robert de Berkeley who gave to God and to the church of St Mary de Redcliffe and its ministers the Rudgewell and conduits."
The original lead pipe runs for 2,750 yards from Knowle Hill to to St Mary's Church Redcliffe, Bristol. The pipe was first laid down in 1190 and replaced in Victorian times with a 4 inch cast iron pipe. The Priest, Churchwardens and Parishioners walk the route of the pipe once a year to lay claim to the church endowments and to maintain the right of way.
