The name Templemore, An Teampall Mór, derives from a church built in the Town Park. It is a planned town which owes its existence to the Cardens. This family, who came from Cheshire, purchased land from the Butlers and lived in the Butler Castle in the Park until it was accidentally destroyed by fire. Its ruins, known as the Black Castle, can be seen to this day.
