The village has a population of around 400 people and is known for its historic church, St. Nicholas, which dates back to the 13th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and is a popular attraction for visitors to the village.

Arrington is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

There Are A Few Benches Scattered Around To Rest You Feet. The Doggy Playing Field Is Nice To Watch Dogs Playing Together And Chat To Other Dog Owners.
