Templemore Place is situated off Lord Street. Like Templemore Avenue, it is named after Baron Templemore, landlord of Ballymacarret.
The townland of Ballymacarrett had been bought by the First Marquess of Donegall in 1787 for £25,000 from Barry Yelverton who in his turn had bought it six years earlier from the Pottinger family for £18,113/5/0d.
"The first Marquis of Donegall by his will dated August 7, 1795, left Ballymacarrett to his second son, Lord Spencer Chichester; whose son, Arthur Chichester, was in 1831 created Baron Templemore, which title gives Templemore Avenue its name" (John J. Marshall, Belfast Telegraph, 19/02/1941). The title of Baron Templemore comes from a parish in the NW Liberties of Londonderry.
