Introduction
Christ Church Garden is the former churchyard of Christ Church built here in 1671. After the site became a public garden, a drinking fountain was donated by John Passmore Edwards. When the church was bombed, the cross fell into the churchyard scorching the ground, its position now marked by a stone cross in the grass. The garden was redesigned in 2000.
