Community Institutions

Eversley is blessed with a number of fantastic institutions made possible by the foresight and generosity of previous members of the Eversley community.

One of it’s more famous residents (Charles Kingsley) founded the school  in 1853, whilst a rector at the church. The church in turn can trace it’s origins back 900 years. More recently the village hall was gifted to the community to provide a space for the community to rally around.

They are all wonderful venues in their own rights. Please see below for a short description of them and links to their own websites for further information.

More importantly please support them  !

Charles Kingsley’s CE Primary was founded in 1853. Charles Kingsley built the school to serve the children living within Eversley and Bramshill. It stands today as testament to his vison for education.

Charles Kingsley’ CE Primary School is a vibrant school where children are enthusiastic and motivated to achieve endless possibilities. The children are at the heart of every decision the school makes to ensure that they are happy, confident and that the opportunities that are provided for them are relevant to their needs both now and in the future.

As a church school they recognise that every child is unique, and that our core purpose is to create a nurturing learning environment based on Christian values.

St Marys Church

Click Here to visit The Church Website St. Mary’s has been a place of Christian worship for over 900 years. There is evidence that it may have been a significant pagan site long before the advent of Christianity. The church building, which dates mainly from the 18th century, lies off a quiet country lane. It is surrounded by fields and trees, much as it would have been years ago. A notable figure in the history of St. Mary’s is the 19th century preacher, author, naturalist and social reformer: Charles Kingsley. He was Rector of Eversley for 31 years and founded the village school, which has recently celebrated its 150th anniversary. Visit the Charles Kingsley page to learn more about his life and work, and read one of his sermons. The architect John James is believed to have been responsible for the addition of the tower to St. Mary’s church. He worked with Sir Christopher Wren, was Surveyor to St. Paul’s Cathedral and built many churches and fine houses. These included Warbrook House, Eversley, where he lived and worked

Situated near Charles Kingsley’s School in the centre of Eversley village, the Hall has long been at the heart of the community, providing a space for local clubs and societies, charity markets and community events.

Originally built back in 1959 on land donated by Commander Manders, Eversley Village Hall was gifted to the village through the generosity of Mrs Humphries-Owen for the sole purpose of providing a site for recreational use within the community.

The Hall is run by a management committee made up of local volunteers, a number of community events are run each year, alongside opportunities to hire the hall for private use
