Description
The Pimple is a reservoir entrance built in 1914 by Sir Edwin Lutyens for the Duke of Bedford. It features Hurdwick stone and a Delabole slate tetrahedral roof with a finial, bellcast design, and a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The building has a triangular shape on plan and a circular plan plinth that forms segmental sears on three sides. There is a doorway on one side. This small structure was constructed over the entrance to a reservoir on Whitchurch Down, which supplied water to the Bedford estate houses and a house called Littlecourt, also designed by Lutyens, between 1910 and 1941.
