‘The Duke of Hereford’s Knob’, Eric Ravilious, watercolour, 1938.

The Duke of Hereford’s Knob is more properly known as ‘Twmp’, translating to hump or tump in English. I’m also pretty sure it makes a guest appearance in Bruce Chatwin’s ‘On the Black Hill’ under the name of ‘Bickerton’s Knob’. Though the building in the foreground is a church, it could technically be described as a house of god, and if that won’t do you, then there’s another little one on the hillside.

Eric Ravilious (22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942) was an exceptional watercolourist, wood engraver and designer. He grew up in the shadow of the Sussex Downs in the coastal town of Eastbourne, the surrounding landscape of which heavily influenced many of his best known works. His instantly recognisable style, palette and choice of subject have an almost universal appeal, a blend which has increased in popularity with the passing of time.
