Parish Church of:
Temple
This place derives its name from having been part of the possessions of the preceptory of the Knights Templars of Trebigh. The church of St Catharine, rebuilt at a cost of £800 on the foundations of the late Norman chapel of the Knights Templars, which had been in ruins for 150 years, was opened May 30th, 1883, and is a small building of ashlar granite and stone in the Early English style, consisting of chancel, nave, north transept, south porch and an embattled western tower containing one bell: there are four stained windows; the east window representing the "Nativity" and the "Ascension" also bears the arms of the Knights Templars, and one of the others has the figure of a Knight Templar on horseback; there are 100 sittings. The register dates from the year 1882.
