Hereinafter cited as The Complete Peerage. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Baron Everingham (aka Everyngham) is an abeyant title in the Peerage of England. It was created by Writ of summons to Parliament of Adam de Everingham of Laxton, Nottinghamshire, on 4 March 1309. It passed to his son Adam but fell into abeyance upon the death of his childless grandson Robert in 1371.

Named after the village of Everingham, Yorkshire the de Everinghams moved to Laxton in the thirteenth century and subsequently branched out to Kiplingcotes and Sherburn and Lincolnshire. The first of the Laxton Everinghams was Robert de Everingham who married the heiress of the Birkin family and in doing so brought the hereditary position of Keeper of Sherwood Forest to the family. The three generations that preceded the Barons are:-
