A memorial gate to Hertfordshire Scouter Jim 'Dymoke' Green who was the editor of The Scouter. Green, tragically died in 1920 aged just 28. The gateway was designed and built by Don Potter. Donald ‘Don’ Potter was a distinguished sculptor and teacher whose pupils included Habitat design entrepreneur Terence Conran. He worked in stone, ivory, ceramics and most successfully, in wood. At 14, he left school and was sent by his father, to work in a North London munitions factory, which he described as, "the nearest approach to prison I have ever known". After three years, he left to work at the training centre for Scout leaders, Gilwell Park, Essex. He became a protégé of Robert Baden-Powell, who encouraged him in his sculpture. Potter carved, or built, several notable sculptures and structures at Gilwell Park.
