Buildings & Gardens
Everingham Forge
Standing at the junction of the lane up to St Everilda’s Terrace and Thorpe-le-Street Road, the forge fell into disrepair and, in later years, its walls formed the village pound.
Everingham Hall (east side)
This was then the main entrance to the house. All the lower part on the right hand side was a 19th century addition and was demolished in the early 1960s.
Everingham Hall (west side)
Facing onto the church lawn, the bay windows were removed during the restorations of the early 1960s.
Formal gardens
The formal garden lay to the south of the walled garden. It has all now disappeared but the route of the straight path leading through the roses from the lake to the kitchen garden can still be made out. It runs through an avenue of Lime trees and you can still find some of the original four Wellingtonias standing. An oratory was built for private prayer and there was a pavilion and bowling green. The walled garden, that once had its hollow north wall heated by piped hot water, was finally demolished in 1983.
Everingham Main Street
The view, from the T junction southwards toward the church, has changed little.
Everingham Parish church
Visiting photographers would often persuade a group of people or even just a single child to stand and be captured in a scene they wished to photograph: this was a way of watermarking their work and foiling any attempt to copy it.

The gravel path leading to one of the two bridges across the lake and, from there to the formal garden.
The imposing central part of the hothouse sited in the walled garden against the south-facing wall. Peaches grew in there against a wall warmed by the sun and by the hot water pipes running from the coke boiler and through the walls.
