Temple Lushington Moore (7 June 1856 – 30 June 1920) was an English architect who practised in London. He designed almost entirely in the Gothic Revival tradition, and his major works were related to churches – new churches, restorations, additions and alterations, and fittings and furniture. He did some work on domestic properties, and also designed memorial crosses.
Temple Moore was born in Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland, and was the son of an army officer. He was educated at Glasgow High School, then from 1872 privately by Revd Richard Wilton in Londesborough in the East Riding of Yorkshire. In 1875 he moved to London and was articled to architect George Gilbert Scott, Jr.. During his training he travelled in France, Germany and Belgium. Although Moore set up his own practice in 1878, he continued to work closely with Scott, helping to complete his works when Scott's health deteriorated.
In 1884 he married Emma Storrs Wilton, the eldest daughter of Revd Wilton and thus was related to Canon Horace Newton whom he designed several properties for including Holmwood, Redditch, the only known house he did. Moore's pupils in his practice included Giles Gilbert Scott, son of George.
In 1905 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Moore's only son, Richard, was articled to his father and it was expected that he would continue the practice. However he pre-deceased his father, being killed in 1918 when RMS Leinster was torpedoed and sunk. Temple Moore's son-in-law, Leslie Thomas Moore, joined the practice during the following year.
Temple Moore died at his home in Hampstead in 1920, and was buried at St John's Church, Hampstead. His estate amounted to a little over £5,635 (equivalent to £200,000 in 2015). Leslie Moore continued the practice, completing some of Temple Moore's commissions.
