About

Churchgate is a short street in Broxbourne town centre that links the High Road to the parish church of St Augustine and the immediate station area. The street hosts a mix of local shops, takeaways and small offices that cater to residents and commuters. Pavements are used by school runs and people crossing to bus stops, and side roads off Churchgate lead into residential terraces and small housing estates. The pattern of trade shifts through the day, with mornings seeing commuter traffic and afternoons serving local errands.

At the upper end of Churchgate the parish church and its churchyard create a visible focal point; St Augustine's retains medieval fabric and a 12th‑century origin that is reflected in the tower and stonework. A war memorial in the churchyard and a handful of benches give the area a communal feel, and notices on the church gate and shop windows advertise rota times and seasonal stalls. Short streets and alleyways off Churchgate are used for deliveries and refuse collection, reinforcing its role as a functional spine in this part of Broxbourne.
