Church Of Saint Everilda

The Church of Saint Everilda is a Grade II* listed building located on Main Street in Everingham. It features an early 13th-century west tower that was raised in the 15th century and remodelled in 1588. The church includes a west porch, a nave, and an eastern apse, all constructed around 1763. The west tower is made of ashlar stone with red brick and has a slate roof.

The west tower has a small rectangular window on its first stage, a chamfered band with raised lozenges, and two round-headed belfry openings on the second stage. It is topped with a crenellated parapet adorned with crocketed pinnacles. The round-headed west doorway has a double-leaf door made of eight raised and fielded panels, and there is a datestone on the south wall of the first stage inscribed with the year 1588.

The nave features an I R plinth and three blank round-headed arches with an impost band that extends the full height of the building. Originally, there were round-headed windows with a sill band, but these were narrowed in the 19th century to round-headed lancets. The nave is finished with a moulded stone cornice and coped gables topped with obelisks. The east window is a plain Venetian style with an impost band.

Inside, there is a round-headed tower arch with two narrow chamfers on moulded responds, each featuring a central small roll flanked by filleted rolls. A stoup has been inserted into the north jamb. Additionally, there is a brass tablet in English dedicated to Dame Jane Constable, who died in 1558.
