In 1066 Arlington had two mills and continued to flourish based on the wool trade until the 18th century.[1]
Arlington was the ancestral home of John Custis II, who emigrated to the Colony of Virginia and named his palatial four-story brick mansion (built in 1675) in Northampton County, Virginia, "Arlington" after the town.[2][3]
Arlington Row is a nationally notable architectural conservation area depicted on the inside cover of all United Kingdom passports.[4] The cottages were built in 1380 as a monastic wool store.[5] This was converted into a row of cottages for weavers in the seventeenth century.[6] It has been used as a film and television location, most notably for the films Stardust and Bridget Jones's Diary.[7][8]
Arlington Manor was built in the 17th century.[9] It has an adjoining 18th century barn.[10]
On the green is a Baptist church built in 1833.[11]
