Description: The children's section in Dronfield Library. The library is housed in the former Dronfield Manor. The Manor House was built in the early 18th century (though there was probable one in the village before this). The house was occupied by John Rotherham in 1749 and after many generations it passed was passed down to Mrs Rotherham Cecil. Mrs Cecil left the house in 1939, and at the outbreak of the Second World War, it opened as the Public Library and Council Offices.
