Place & story
The house in 1812 and church in 1814
Samuel Lewis recorded that Templeharry’s glebe-house was erected in 1812 with a £450 gift and a £184 loan from the Board of First Fruits. The church followed in 1814, supported by a separate £200 loan. These figures concern distinct buildings and forms of assistance. Lewis also noted older church and glebe-house remains on an eminence, separate from the newer structures described in his 1837 account. [2]
