St Everilda (medieval)
Parish church
Nether Poppleton is a village on the NW outskirts of York. (Note: Nether and Upper Poppleton are now one compact built-up area). The church is in a rural location at the edge of the village and is near the river Ouse. It is a twin-cell building with N vestry added to chancel, and a west and north gallery in the nave. Plain walls but with ancient complexity hinted at in various blocked arches in the chancel; enlivened by modern craftwork throughout. Twelfth-century remains are the chancel arch and perhaps the blocked arches in the chancel N and S walls, which are suggested by Pevsner to be the remains of a Norman crossing (1967, 374). There is also a reset corbel in the west wall of the nave.
