In 1724 set up a trust to be presided over by Daniel Waterland and his successors, for two closed scholarships for boys from several Shrewsbury schools. He also provided for the establishment of a fellowship after the lapse of 40 years, to be funded by the proceeds from the sale of the timber from a newly planted woodland.
Millington’s brother, James was a successful draper in Shrewsbury, and he held a life interest in the properties which would generate the income of the scholarships, so the first scholars did not arrive until after his death in 1734.
Died on 25 March 1728
