Lord Jeremy Pimpole

Lord Jeremy Pimpole is a fictional character created by author Tom Sharpe, a British novelist.

This helps to remind Skullion of the days when students had been proper gentlemen.

In the sequel, Grantchester Grind (1995), the character of Pimpole plays a more central role.

In this novel he has changed from the 'delightfully vague and charming young man' of his student days to an unwashed and abusive alcoholic with a sexual predilection for sheep and dogs.

Because of his spending, mostly on alcohol, he has lost Pimpole Hall, the ancestral home, and is reduced to living in a gamekeeper's lodge on what had been his family's estate.
