The hamlet of Cock Fosters effectively developed as an estate village for the large estates of Trent Park and Beech Hill Park. The Bevan Family monument is found in the small churchyard to the north of the church, which has gravestones and some fine monuments among grass, with yew and other trees, roses and shrubs.

Christ Church Garden is the former churchyard of Christ Church built here in 1671, which was rebuilt in the C18th and added to in the 1890s but destroyed by bombing in WWII.

The garden was redesigned in 2000.

It is enclosed by wooden picket fencing, which separates it from Christchurch Green Recreation Ground.

The original Christ Church was a flint-faced building of 1851-2, paid for by Archbishop Sumner. Due to structural problems it was closed in 1978 and, following a petition, approval to demolish the building was given in 1982. However, in 1983 the old church was listed and total demolition therefore not granted. The building was badly damaged by fire in 1985 and a new church retaining the undamaged portion at the western end was opened by the Bishop of Southwark in June 1991. There church has a garden with grass and flower border behind a flint wall to the road, with a few headstones in the shrubbery at the eastern boundary.

Christ Church was built in 1874 to serve the growing population of Erith, which only developed significantly after the railway arrived in 1849.

Within the churchyard is the 1920s War Memorial in the form of a marble cross on a stepped plinth.

Christchurch Gardens is the site of the former burial ground for St Margaret Westminster dating from 1625. Broadway Chapel was built here in 1638-42, replaced in the C19th by Christ Church Westminster. Among those buried in the churchyard were several notorious people. Christ Church was destroyed in the Blitz in 1941 and the site was left as open space until it was converted into a public garden in 1950. There were no monuments remaining but the garden was laid out with grass, a number of mature trees, and some formal landscaping. In 1970 the Suffragette Monument was erected in the gardens and in 1995 a bronze statue commemorating Henry Purcell. In 2020 the gardens were re-landscaped following an improvement scheme undertaken by Victoria BID with WCC. The new scheme provides additional planting together with new seating, lighting, paving and historical information as well as features to improve biodiversity.
