The Church of All Saints, Kirby Underdale, stands on a steep hillside overlooking the western edge of the Yorkshire Wolds and is a notable landmark for walkers in the area. The building has 12th-century origins, with the nave and lower stages of the tower surviving from this period. The arcades and aisles were added in the early 13th century, and the simple font bowl dates to the 14th century. A south doorway of c.1200 retains capitals decorated with a nailhead motif, and nearby is the carved gravestone of Roger Wilberfoss of Garrowby (d.1532). An unusual feature is a Roman stone carving set into the south-west buttress of the north aisle. Found in the rectory garden in 1916, the 2nd- or 3rd-century figure is generally identified as Mercury and is shown holding a purse and wand, with horns that may reference his winged cap. Its presence suggests Roman activity in the area and is thought to reflect an association with good fortune. Inside the church is a memorial window to the 2nd Viscount and Viscountess Halifax, commemorating his role in the ecumenical Malines Conferences of 1921–1925.

opens last Saturday of the month for tea coffee and cake

A steep climb out of Millington for those that enjoy lactic acid :) , but the reward is the view at the top.

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.

There is a small courtyard/beer garden at the rear

Lovely spot for a rest and a bite to eat before the climb back up the hill.
