EVERTON, a chapelry in the parish of WALTON-on-the-HILL, hundred of WEST-DERBY, county palatine of LANCASTER, 1 mile (N. N. E.) from Liverpool, containing 2109 inhabitants. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Chester, and in the patronage of the Rector of Walton. The chapel was consecrated in 1814. This is a neat and agreeable village, situated on a bold eminence, opposite to the bay of Bootle: its proximity to Liverpool, and the salubrity of the air, have rendered it the residence of several genteel families. A new church, dedicated to St. George, has lately been erected. Here was an ancient beacon, supposed to have been erected in 1220, by Ranulph de Blundeville, Earl of Chester, which was blown down in 1803.
