St John the Baptist's Church, Dronfield, Medieval parish church in Dronfield, England
St John the Baptist's Church features a four-stage tower with an octagonal spire, constructed from sandstone with coped gables and moulded finials.
The church construction began in 1250, with subsequent modifications during the late 13th and 14th centuries, followed by repairs in 1819 and restorations in 1855.
The interior holds more than 120 brasses, monuments, and memorials, along with a carved 17th-century oak pulpit and fragments of medieval stained glass windows.
The church maintains regular services as part of a joint parish with St Andrew's, St Philip's, St Mary's, and St Swithin's churches in the surrounding areas.
The building houses an Alexander Buckingham organ from 1830, which received multiple restorations and extensions throughout its operational history.
