History of Templeogue
Templeogue was a small village isolated from Dublin City. The now ruined church or chapel in Templeogue graveyard, erected in 1273 to replace the inaccessible chapel of Kilsantan, appears to to be the earliest freestanding remains.
It was recorded as a ruin around 1615 - the Talbots resident in Templeogue House
were presumably not interested in maintaining what had become an Anglican church after the Reformation.
The estates of Terenure and Bushy Park lay between the village and the modern Terenure crossroads.
The construction of the long and straight Templeogue Road, originally built as a toll road, through these estates in 1801 made Templeogue a much more accessible place.
