Lesnewth

Lesnewth - St Michael & all Angels - Grade II - 19th Century on Norman Site

Lesnewth is only a mile off the busy A39 between Wainhouse Corner and Camelford, but the best approach to the hamlet is up the wandering lane from Minster Church through the woods dripping with lichen and banks heavy with moss. The church itself lies tucked snugly out of the wind at the head of the valley, with a fast running stream beside it; the hillside is so steep that only the tall unbuttressed western tower can be seen, its stair turret with quatrefoil openings, on the north side.
