St John's Church at Smithy Hill
It is not clear which of the surrounding hamlets this isolated church belongs to! It is simply signed as St John's Church at the junction of Hodge Lane with the B5017 at Birch Cross.
Later addition - April 2008: Further information now indicates that this church is St.John's, Marchington Woodlands. It was built in 1858 at the instigation of the owner of the adjacent Smallwood Manor because of the distance to either of the nearest existing churches. After the Manor became a school, the church served effectively for many decades as the school chapel until a new school chapel was built. The parish is now closely linked to the parish of Marchington itself.

Fruit of the yew
Taxus baccata in St. John's churchyard.
The seed cones are highly modified, each cone containing a single seed 4–7 millimetres (0.16–0.28 in) long partly surrounded by a modified scale which develops into a soft, bright red berry-like structure called an aril, 8–15 millimetres (0.31–0.59 in) long and wide and open at the end. The arils are mature 6-9 months after pollination, and with the seed contained are eaten by thrushes, waxwings and other birds, which disperse the hard seeds undamaged in their droppings; maturation of the arils is spread over 2-3 months, increasing the chances of successful seed dispersal. The seed itself is extremely poisonous and bitter. The aril is not poisonous, and is gelatinous and very sweet tasting.
