Oakmere House is a public house and restaurant in Potters Bar, England, and a grade II listed building with Historic England.[1] The pub is under the management of the Harvester company. The rear of the building faces onto Oakmere Park.
The L31 German Zeppelin fell on an old oak tree in the grounds of Oakmere Park after being shot down by Lieutenant Wulstan Tempest on 1 October 1916. His small plane was slightly damaged on landing back at his base, and he suffered a few injuries. He went next day to Oakere Park, Potters Bar, see what he had done the night before!
This famous zeppelin was captained by the German hero of the time, Heinrich Mathy. He and his 18-man crew were all killed, and buried in the Potters Bar cemetery until their bodies were transferred to Cannock Chase many years later.
The Potters Bar Museum has a section devoted to this important incident in the aerial battles over England. After the death of Mathy, zeppelin raids decreased.
