Nether Poppleton - St Everilda's Church.
St. Everilda's Church lies in the village of Nether Poppleton which is northwest of York.
My next walk along what is now the River Ouse takes me from Nether Poppleton back up river to Moor Munkton so it was a scouting trip today to find good safe parking.
The church is one of only two in the country dedicated to Everilda, an Anglo-Saxon saint who established a monastic community which may have been in Poppleton, although it is usually placed in Everingham, East Riding where there is St. Everild's Parish Church. Nearby in the grounds of Everingham Park there is an impressive Italianate-style Roman Catholic chapel
A church was in existence by 1088 but was rebuilt in the twelfth-century, and much of the material from that period survives. In 1778, galleries were added on the north and west side of the nave, and part of the north wall was rebuilt in brick
The River Ouse flows past the village.
