The first settlers in this area were probably attracted by the rivers, streams and woodlands. Traditionally, the Anglian settlement started on the site of the long, low, five-bayed building, now divided into several small shops, opposite the Parish Church. The Domesday Book of 1086 says very little about Dronfield, except to confirm its existence with a suggestion that it wasn't very valuable! The Church of St John the Baptist was one of the richest livings in the Hundred of Scarsdale. Other historical buildings include the Green Dragon Inn (1349), once the hall of the chantry priests and the headquarters of the Guild of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the barn on High Street with its carved king post roof that may date to the 15th Century. Dronfield benefited from its position on one of the routes from the lead mining and grindstone making areas of the Peak towards the transport network on the rivers to the east. Coal mining was important to the area with pits mentioned as early as the 16th Century. More mines were opened in the 18th Century and 19th Century but no trace of the coal industry remains today. By 1811 steel refiner Samuel Lucas had set up a foundry exploiting his patent for malleable iron and, according to tradition, cannon balls for the Napoleonic Wars were made here. Today, one of the old foundries has been converted into the Forge Shopping Centre. Dronfield has an unusual landmark - the Peel Monument on High Street. Built in 1854 as a tribute to Robert Peel, the monument commemorates his repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. It is probably the most photographed and sketched feature of the town. The apartments each have their own private parking space.
