"The church of St Adwena is one of those Cornish churches which is far from any apparent civilisation, not even having its own churchtown let alone farmstead close by. It stands alone at the end of a lane on the edge of Bodmin Moor a short distance from Camelford.

The tower is slim but surprisingly tall with some robust pinnacles around its top which are visible from the nearby Moorgate longstone.

Like most Cornish churches, it became a mess and required restoration in the C19. This was done very sensitively in 1847-9 and then again in 1973. Although there is only a nave and south aisle, both once had transepts. The southern one was removed during the C19 restoration leaving the transept arch in place."
