Temple is a small parish and the small building was in a state of disrepair until the 1880s, so many church events for the few people living in the parish took place in neighboring parishes, particularly Cardinham, Helland, and Blisland, a fact that must be noted by genealogical researchers. With fewer than 3 dozen inhabitants, the parish was incorporated into the parish of Blisland in 1934, but the church building remains and is generally open to visitors and the cemetery is still maintained.
