What is "conkwell"

Conkwell is a hamlet in Winsley parish, Wiltshire, England, near the county border of North East Somerset. It is about west of Bradford on Avon and southeast of the city of Bath. The settlement was established to house the workers in the local stone quarries.

There used to be a small chapel serving the community, which has been incorporated into one of the dwellings.

At the end of the Dundas Aqueduct on the Kennet and Avon Canal a wharf was constructed serving the Conkwell stone quarries.
