Holy Trinity Church Templebreedy

Holy Trinity Church is a Gothic building in Templebreedy with decorative architectural details including plate tracery and a low porch. The chancel arch contains carved corbels that display the craftsmanship typical of its era.

William Burges designed this church as a replacement for an earlier building from 1778. Construction occurred in the 19th century and marked the renewal of religious architecture in the area.

The church near Crosshaven represents the Church of Ireland presence in the area and continues to serve its local community. It marks the evolving religious landscape of the region over time.

The building is easy to locate in its village setting and offers straightforward access for visitors. The interior provides a calm environment to explore the architectural features and understand the church's place in its community.

The original design included a tower in the style of northern Italian campaniles that was discussed in architectural journals of the time. This distinctive tower was never built, remaining a curious part of the building's unrealized vision.
