• TN029-062001 Church
  Description

  Medieval ruins of St. Mary's parish church situated on flat land N of the town of Templemore, in the present town park and adjacent to the pitch and putt club. An artificial lake lies immediately to the W. Church listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Cashel in 1302 (Cal. doc. Ire, vol. 5, 283). Present remains consist of a much altered church (ext. dims. 8.24m N-S; 32.8m E-W) which had a cross-wall added, possibly in 1762 when the C of I repaired portion of the building. They shortened the church with the insertion of the cross-wall which became the new E wall of the church. The building remained in use as a place of worship until 1790 (Walsh 1991, 46). The W part of the church is best preserved with side-walls surviving up to a height of 3.85m. The cross-wall survives to a height of c. 5m. The W gable is a pastiche of architectural features. A massive buttress has been built up against the exterior wall, through which a large round-headed entrance was inserted. Above this buttress there is an inserted two-light traceried window which may have been in the E gable originally. The gable is surmounted by a large bellcote. The only original in situ feature is a flat-headed single-light transomed window. All the entrances into the church have been modified. That in the N wall at the W side of the church is a late insert, incorporating earlier worked stone, while that in the N wall at the E side of the church has had a chamfered door surround inserted in recent renovation work. The original entrance to the church may have been in the S wall where there is the base of a chamfered door surround under a later wall line. Within the church there are a number of loose architectural fragments, some of which have been inserted in a partially reconstructed window in the N wall. In the W section of the church there is a plain graveslab with an inscription in English around the edge, it reads: HERE LAYS THE BODY OF ISAAC HAIES OF KNOCRANROE WHO DYED THE 43 YEAR OF HIS AGE THE 15 OF APRIL 1703. It seems that Isaac Hayes was a Cromwellian who had been granted land in Knockinroe (Walsh 1991, 46-7). There is a seventeenth-century tombstone in the NE corner lying recumbent on an altar table. It is a tapering slab, decorated with an eight-arm floriated cross which rests on a stepped calvary mount with a skull and cross-bones. The border inscription in Latin is a mixture of Gothic and English capitals: ....JACET RD: PATER D: EDMUNDUS DULLANY RECTOR BEATA MARIA DE TAMPLEMORE ET PRIOR COMMENDATORIUS INSULAE....FIERI FECIT AI 1632: CUIUS AIA PROPITIE.... which translates as: [Here] lies Rev Father D Edmund Dullany, Rector of St Mary's of Templemore, and Prior in Commendam of the Island...who had (me) made in the year 1632: on whose soul may [the Lord] have mercy (Hayes 1993, 186-8).

• TN029-062002 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on a natural hillock with good views in all directions. Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as 'a Castle and the Walls of a stone house out of repaire' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 78). James Earl of Ormond is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). A large rectangular three-storey tower house (ext. dims. c. 17.1m x c. 10.9m) composed of roughly coursed limestone rubble, with substantial base-batter and dressed quoins. Most of the base-batter has been robbed and this has revealed an internal facing. The S and W walls are supported by tall buttresses, the bases of which have also been robbed. The E wall and E end of the N wall have been destroyed. In the interior, at the NW end, there is a raised area formed by a vaulted chamber which was inserted at ground-floor level. This chamber, together with a double bellcote surmounting the S wall and a circular turret on the N wall, were probably built as demesne features of the Carden estate in the nineteenth century. The S wall has been subject to a lot of modification. At the W end of the wall there is a large break which has been infilled. Above this at first-floor level there is an opening, probably a window embrasure. There is a similar embrasure above this at third-floor level from which a mural passage runs westward, continuing into the W wall. The W wall has been partially repaired in recent times. Two embrasures at first-floor level, both containing a single ogee-headed light with punch-dressed limestone jambs. At second-floor level there is a large embrasure, placed S of centre, with a mural passage running N from it. There are three windows in the W wall, the centre window and possibly the N one, providing light exclusively for the mural passage. The remains of an internal dividing wall exist between the S embrasure and the N embrasure on the first floor. This wall continues from the first floor up to the second-floor level. At the N end of the W wall there is a rectangular garderobe chute (dims 1.1m x 0.82m W), surmounted by the circular turret described above, which exits the building at a point 2.6m above ground level in the external face of the N wall. The remains of a bawn wall (T 1.6m) extend N-S from roughly the centre of the N wall and extend E-W from the S wall. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).

• TN029-062003 House - indeterminate date
  Description

  Situated on a natural hillock with good views in all directions. Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as 'a Castle and the Walls of a stone house out of repaire' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 78). James Earl of Ormond is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). Though the tower house (TN029-062002) may have been modified and inhabited in the seventeenth century, the reference in the Civil Survey suggests that the stone house was a separate building.

  Description

  Situated on flat land N of the town, in the present town park. An artificial lake lies immediately to the W. Templemore Church is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Cashel in 1302 (Cal. doc. Ire., vol. 5, 283). Multi-period church ruins (TN029-062001-) form N boundary of rectangular shaped graveyard as depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map. The church remained in use until 1790 (Walsh 1991, 46). On the revised 1912 ed. OS 6-inch map the chapel of the graveyard has been modified and is now a polygonal shaped area (approx. dims. 36m N-S x 38m E-W) defined by a moated stone lined ditch. The graveyard contains memorials dating from the 17th century onwards. The interior of the church is covered with memorials dating from the century onwards. An enclosed burial area is located immediately N of the church ruins. Compiled and revised by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of revised upload: 24 September 2018
