Shillington Parish Church lit at night to the glory of God and the joy of the faithfull

Shillington Parish Church stands in majestic splendor upon a large knoll which rises out of the vale of Mid-Bedfordshire. This nightly illumination can be witnessed from miles around and forms a truly awesome and magical sight for the onlooker. Set against a moonlit night sky you may really feel the hand of God has placed it there.

I have received the following interesting item of local folk-lore from Aiden in Ireland who once lived in the shadow of this church (I quote it verbatim with permission);

There is a local story as to why the church is located where it is. Originally, the foundations had been dug on a small mound at that is now called "Church Panel" at the back of Bury Road. Every morning after the builders had started construction, they would arrive to find that the materials, stone, tools, everything needed to build a church, were gone and could be located on top of the hill where the church now stands.
This went on for weeks, so the builders gave up carting everything back down to Church Panel and built the church where it was obviously destined to be... whether moved there by man or the Hand of God.

Any more interesting information anyone??? < click here
