I don't think that Quakers were on a "circuit", though they had very strong links between their individual meeting houses in various parts of the country - particularly in Yorkshire. I believe that the Brotherton Library in Leeds is one of main repositories of Quaker records in Yorkshire - Also the University of Hull has a Quaker "project" mentioning the Sheffield archives too Suggest you "google" these links to get further details.

Dronfield Woodhouse is in Derbyshire. Marea's Lowe ancestors were from Handsworth Woodhouse, near Sheffield and I have previously found some of these for her and posted all the information to her that there is, or at least all that I have found. There may be further information in the Sheffield archives but not sure about this. I always thought that the Quakers were on a circuit as were the Methodists, so there may be records elsewhere. They were buried in the old Quaker burial ground, opposite where I live at Woodhouse. The Meeting House is now two private dwellings and recently part of the large garden of one of them [ not the one where the 500 people were buried ] has been sold off and a 4 bedroomed house is now nearly completed on this. A path has been left down one side in case anyone wants to visit from abroad and presumably if anyone wants to be buried in the small walled off part of the burial ground that contains some gravestones, all around the edge of it. I assume that this part is still consecrated.
