Landmarks
A war memorial, built in the 1920s, is dedicated to Arrington men and women who died in the First and Second World Wars. It stands at the old junction of the road to Cambridge and Ermine Street.
There are 20 listed buildings in Arrington (including the church). Among them are the old post office and shop, nine houses and two milestones along Ermine Street, Wraggs Farmhouse, its barn and old granary, the Hardwicke Arms Hotel and entrance gates and piers to Wimpole Hall.

Famous quotes containing the word landmarks:
“The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.”
—Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)
“Of all the bewildering things about a new country, the absence of human landmarks is one of the most depressing and disheartening.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
