The little village of Myshall nestling at the foot of Mount Leinster and the Blackstairs mountains, is remarkable in that it has a church which bears a striking resemblance to Salisbury Cathedral. It was built by Englishman John Duguid from Dover.

The story goes that his daughter Constance when on holiday there met a young Carlow man, a member of the Cornwall-Bradys, the two fell in love. Unfortunately Constance was killed in a hunting accident in the 1890's, her dying wish was that she be buried in the old churchyard at Myshall, near the man she loved. She was buried there and a statue raised over her grave.

When Constance's mother died in 1903 her wish was that she be buried beside her daughter. Mr Duguid decided to build a memorial church over both graves. He used Salisbury Cathedral as a model and redesigned it as a church. The resulting building is a credit to its designer and to the craftsmen who carried out the work.

One of Myshall's sons Peter Fenelon Collier (1849-1909) emigrated to America at the age of sixteen, he completed his education in a seminary. Borrowing $35 he became the first person to sell books on the installment plan. He went on to found Collier's Magazine an illustrated general weekly, he built up a publishing business worth $12 Million.
