Barnraisings were popular and often a rough part of community life. There were also the cornhuskings and apple bees and above all, the hoe-downs, where the songs and music of back home days were sung with gusto. Religion played an important role and Methodism in particular, because of the itinerant backwoods preachers who struggled through the wilderness as well as the elements. First Pioneer to the West.

Shillington Village has grown around the church, which has stood on the hill for thousand or so years. Located at the NE end of the Chiltern Hills, part of the parish lies within an area of outstanding natural beauty. The population in 2009 stood at about 1800 and there are some 800 houses.
