"The church was dedicated to St Newelina on "the Friday after St. Matthew" in September 1259. It consists of a chancel, nave, south aisle, south transept or Tresillian aisle, and north transept or Cargol manor aisle. The arcade has five four-centred arches, and three lesser-pointed arches. The church contains the family vault of the Arundells of Trerice. The tower is of three stages, is buttressed on the square, and finished with battlements and pinnacles; it contains five bells. The church was re-roofed in 1846, and a major renewal took place in 1883.
An unusual feature of the church is the height of its circular graveyard above the adjacent road. This, together with the location of the church next to the 90m contour gives the impression that it was earlier used as a fortified camp or village."
