Chapel Yard,High Street, Dronfield

[skala]

Doing research on the Quaker Meeting house and subsequent Methodist chapel that was in Chapel Yard off High Street Dronfield.Any information on this early history would be appreciated It was sold by the Methodists in and around 1872 and was purchased by a George Davidson. I don't know if he resided there it being made into 2 dwelling houses no 3 and 4 Chapel Yard.Think he may have rented it out and used it as collateral. Would appreciate any information and who was living there in 1881.1891 1901and 1911 if this is possible. Many Thanks.
