A guided tour of Everingham Hall and the adjoining Chapel of the Virgin and St Everilda opens this summer's programme of evening visits. Grade 1 listed, the handsome Georgian house (1757-64) was built to designs by John Carr for William Haggerston Constable, and restored (1962-3) by Francis Johnson. Next door is the monumental Italianate Roman Catholic chapel (1836-9), whose plain exterior hides a spectacular gilded and painted stucco interior, with statues of Carrara marble. A buffet supper follows the tour. Parking is available in the grounds. Everingham lies just off the A1079. Follow signs into the village to reach the parish church of St Everilda. Take the next turning on the left for Everingham Hall and Chapel. New members always welcome ! E: hedon.history @gmail.com
