Everton is a village in the civil parish of Hordle, 2+1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) west of Lymington, in the English county of Hampshire. [1]
Everton is at the junction of the A337 and B3058 roads. It is in the southeast of the parish of Hordle. [2] The village has around 760 houses, the majority having been built since 1970. It also has a village shop, a social club, a garden centre, and a large nursery. [2] It has a church dedicated to Saint Mary which is a daughter church of All Saints, Milford on Sea. [2] The village has one pub called The Crown. [3]
The earliest deeds which mention Everton (c. 1300) spell the name as Yveletona. [4] The name may be equivalent to that of Yeovilton in Somerset, and made up of two elements: "Gifl" - a Brittonic river name, and "ton" - an Anglo-Saxon word for a farm. [5] Subsequent variants of the name include Yelverton, Yeovilton, Evilton, and Evelton. [6]
From the time of Charles II down to the beginning of the 19th century, Everton was home to three notable Catholic families, succeeding each other at Everton House - Steptoe, White, and Lacy. [6] The first Anglican church was erected in 1896 and was constructed mainly from wood and corrugated iron. [7] This was replaced in 1970 with the present timber-framed and cedar shingle clad church. [7]
Everton saw some action during World War II. On 15 October 1940 at 12:45 pm, a Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1 was shot down at Everton. [8] [9] Less than a year later, at nearby Efford, on 8 July 1941 at 1:25 am, a Heinkel He 111H-3 was shot down by a Bristol Beaufighter, four crew members were killed, but one member of the crew baled out and was captured by members of the local home guard.
