Templetouhy (Irish Teampall Tuaithe), often written Templetuohy, is a civil parish that lies mainly in the barony of Ikerrin, County Tipperary although a single townland lies in the barony of Eliogarty.[1] It is part of the Thurles poor law union. Writing in 1837, Lewis said that the parish of Templetuohy (as he had it, Templetouhy) had 2,653 inhabitants.[2]

Ecclesiastical parishes

Like all civil parishes in Ireland, this civil parish is derived from, and co-extensive with, a pre-existing parish of the Church of Ireland. The living was a rectory, joined with that of Callabeg, in the Diocese of Cashel which was in the gift of the Archbishop.[2] Following the merger of various dioceses in the region, it is now part of the parish of "Templemore, Thurles and Kilfithmone" in the United Dioceses of Cashel and Ossory.[3] In the Roman Catholic Church, it is united to Moyne to form the ecclesiastical parish of "Templetuohy and Moyne" in the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly.[4]

Townlands

The parish is divided into 13 townlands.[5] The largest population centre is the village of Templetuohy in the townland of Longorchard. The southernmost townland of Derryville lies in the barony of Eliogarty.
