Notes and references
- ↑ The name would suggest a house within view of the parish church, which would have been called 'the temple' at a certain point in history. This is not the case, however. The house has a view of Faldouet Dolmen, so perhaps its name is an allusion to the time when such prehistoric remains were known as Druid temples
- ↑ It was unusual to see the size of his holding shown in vergees, because normally the UK controlled census used acres
