The poetry bench on the ridgeline above Millington is one of several specially commissioned artworks along the Yorkshire Wolds Way. It was created by craftsman Angus Ross as part of the "WANDER - Art along the Yorkshire Wolds Way" project and features a poem by John Wedgwood Clarke.

St. Margaret's is noted for having a leper's window, or a squint, in the chancel's south wall. These small openings were once believed to allow people with contagious diseases to observe the Eucharist without entering the church.

Parking for several cars, picnic benches a little bit shabby and decayed as of autumn 2025.

The posts with the letters G, A, I, and T near Millington Wood are part of the "Waymarker Sculpture Project," an art installation spelling "GAIT IN WOLDS" with 11 posts. These carved English oak posts serve as waymarkers in the Millington Pastures, commemorating the traditional division of common grazing land into "gaits", with one gait sufficient for about 6 sheep or 4 ewes with lambs.
