Pymmes Lake was once part of the Pymmes Estate. The name came from a wealthy landowner called William Pymme who built a mansion nearby in 1327. In the 16th century the land was owned by Lord Burghley and later by Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury. The northern 33 acres of Pymmes Park was opened to the public in 1897, while the remaining 20 acres was established as an ornamental park and formally opened to the public on 16th June 1906. Victorian and Edwardian visitors to Pymmes Park used the lake for pleasure boating. Rowing boats and children's paddleboats were used on the lake until the late 1970s when the lake was turned into a wildlife sanctuary. The house itself burned down in 1940.
