Place & story
Pig fairs and village services
Samuel Lewis recorded nine fairs during the year at Templetouhy in 1837, describing them as monthly gatherings chiefly for the sale of pigs. His account does not imply a fair in every month. He also noted several newly built houses, an established penny post and a constabulary force stationed in the village, alongside a parish landscape principally under tillage. [2]
