Shillington

Shillington Village has grown around the church, which has stood on the hill for thousand or so years.
The Village has a distinctive shape made up of several ends or hamlets. Located at the NE end of the Chiltern Hills, part of the parish lies within an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The Village has much history and was named after a Saxon called Scyttle.
There are 1,481 electors listed on our 2004 electoral role.
