Though the building looks quite modern, reportedly Smalley Baptist Church was built in 1784. To acommodate increasing number, the church was lengthened in 1820 and a gallery was added.

Smalley's Parish Church of St John the Baptist was built in the late 18th century on the site of a much earlier church, the transepts being added later in 1844. A seventh century Saxon cross forms part of the porch. The bell tower was built in 1911, to the designs of Currey and Thompson, housing five bells donated by the Rev. Charles Kerry. The chime of five bells is said to be the heaviest in England, the largest bell weighing over 2 tons. The parish church hosts occasional street parties for the residents of Smalley.

At the end of the 18th century John Redford of Smalley Hall built a dam on Bell lane creating this pond. Although it became silted up in the 20th century, it has now been restored to create a delightful and rather secluded spot.
