Dedicated on 22 November 1928 as a quiet garden in memory of Canon George Glossop, who was not only an eminent clergyman but also a county councillor a prominent reformer of education in Hertfordshire through his chairing of various boards and committees and who had died in 1925. It was funded by public subscription and designed by Sir Herbert Baker, a colleague of Sir Edward Lutyens. He also strongly supported the setting up of World War 1 Street memorials commemorating the fallen of the Abbey Parish - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/7007. In the background is part of St Albans School. For close up of the memorial plaque to Canon Glossop on the back wall of the garden, see Image
