View northward, towards Enfield Town, also Cheshunt via the Churchbury Loop: ex-GER ('West Anglia') suburban lines from Liverpool Street. The station, for over 50 years only on the Enfield line, was named 'Lower Edmonton High Level' until 28/9/92, the 'Low Level' station being on the original, little-used line from Angel Road. The Churchbury Loop, which branches off nearly a mile to the north at Bury Street Junction, was a late (October 1891) and over-ambitious 'mistake' on the part of the Great Eastern Railway: it failed to attract 'commuters' and its passenger service was withdrawn after a few years (September 1909). However, when the lines from Liverpool Street to Bishop's Stortford and Hertford East, also to Enfield Town, were electrified in November 1960 the Loop was renewed and revived in favour of the main Lea Valley line, which was not electrified until May 1969.

All Saints Church was founded in 1136 by Geoffrey de Mandeville. The west tower dates from the 15th century, as does much of the interior, including the nave roof. However, there is still evidence of the earlier 12th century church here as there are fragments of a Norman doorway and other pieces of Norman evidence built into the west wall. The tower blocks in the distance are at Edmonton Green - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5312935

Opened in 1872 as Edmonton (High Level) on the Great Eastern Railway's line from London Liverpool Street to Broxbourne. It offered a more direct route to London than the nearby Image and rapidly became the main station. It was renamed Lower Edmonton (High Level) in 1883, and became Edmonton Green in 1992. View north towards Southbury and Broxbourne, also the short Enfield Town branch.

This part of the churchyard to the south-west of the main churchyard is separated by railings and also contains old tombs, as well as gravestones which have been removed and lined up against the wall.
