Churches in Adwell Parish
Adwell St Mary
"Located in the secluded hamlet of Adwell and in the beautiful gardens of Adwell House, this church is a gem. It was built in 1860 by the architect Sir Arthur Blomfield and has the distinction that he also designed the pews.
The church stands on the site of an earlier Norman church, and the Norman entrance arch and door survive."
