St Catherine

Although the base of the tower may date from the late C12 or early C13, the church was almost entirely rebuilt by Silvanus Trevail, who drew up the plans free of charge.

There are the remains of a Norman font and much of the earlier dressed stone has been reused in the church and building to the south (qv).

Restored Norman font with square base and simple round granite bowl.

C19 stained glass windows with subjects largely relating to Knights Templars and Hospitallers.

In 1150 King Stephen gave the Knights Templars the Manor of Trebeigh in St Ive parish (qv Trebeigh Manor) together with Temple, forming the Preceptory of Trebeigh.

In 1312 the Knights Templars were suppressed and their lands handed over to the Knights Hospitallers.

The order was suppressed during the Reformation and the lands confiscated, later being granted to Henry Wilbye, George Blyke and passing to the Wrey family in the C17.
