In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Everingham like this:
EVERINGHAM, a parish in Pocklington district, E. R. Yorkshire; on a head stream of the river Foulness, 2¾ miles N of Holme r. station, and 5 W by N of Market-Weighton. It has a post office under York. Acres, 3, 080. Real property, £2, 758. Pop., 321. Houses, 49. The property is divided among a few. ...
Everingham Hall belonged formerly to the Southells, and belongs now to the Maxwells; is a lofty brick edifice, with three fronts; has, in its picture gallery, a costly portrait of Charles I. by Vandyke; and stands in highly embellished grounds. A curious Saxon font is within the park. The living is a rectory in the diocese of York. Value, £237.* Patron, Mrs. Martin. The church was reported in 1859 as bad. There is a splendid Roman Catholic chapel.
