Everingham is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is 5 miles (8 km) west of Market Weighton town centre and 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Pocklington town centre. Everingham is part of the civil parish of Everingham and Harswell.
It has two churches, both dedicated to St. Everilda, a 7th century saint who founded a convent here: St. Everilda's (Church of England) and Ss Mary & Everilda, Everingham, (Roman Catholic). There is only one other church in Britain dedicated to this saint, at Nether Poppleton, City of York.
