St Adwen's Church

Description

St Adwen's Church is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Advent. It is the only church in Cornwall to have eight pinnacles to its tower.

The north transept and the west tower date from the 13th century. The font is Norman. The south aisle is 15th century.

The church was restored in 1847-48 when the south chapel was demolished. From 1872 to 1874 the north walls of the nave and chancel, and the whole of the north transept was rebuilt. The pews were removed and open seating was provided.

The ecclesiastical parish is the responsibility of the Rector of Lanteglos-by-Camelford, and Advent has been associated with Lanteglos since medieval times.
