St. John the Baptist is the historic parish church of Dronfield, planted by monks from Beauchief Abbey in the 12th century. There is some evidence of even earlier use. Its medieval stained glass windows are important regionally and in the north of England as they show the use of silver nitrate being used to create the yellow stained glass effect.
