Templeton style

Templeton style churches share common architectural elements, notably an elliptical window in a projecting pediment and a four-stage, double-octagon steeple. Not all of these buildings survive intact, but extant examples include Templeton, Fitzwilliam, Hancock, Acworth, and Newport. Late 18th-century meetinghouses in Westmoreland and Jaffrey were also updated with octagonal steeples in the early 1820s.
