WP Everingham & Sons Ltd

WP Everingham & Sons Ltd WP Everingham & Sons Ltd is a family run Memorial business established in 1843. Our skilled craftsmen can also carry out inspections and repairs

We make new memorials to mark the passing of your loved ones as well as cleaning and renovating older stones. Although our work is predominantly on memorials we also use our craft to produce bespoke house name plaques, small carvings or art in stone, in fact if you have an idea you can have a chat with us an find out what might be possible. We can even produce memorials for pets whether your family friend is laid to rest at home or in pet cemetery.

This is how we clean War Memorials, with superheated steam from our DOFF machine. Because of the temperature mosses, lichen & algae are removed and the spores killed without damaging the stone. It’s comparatively low pressure vs jet washing and so doesn’t pe*****te plus the temperature means it evaporates quickly.

We don’t use bleach or other chemicals that you may have seen other companies use on projects as these are absorbed and continue to react beyond the cleaning process. This can result in damage to the stone.

So the only thing left to do is repaint the lettering before final inspection

East Yorkshire has no memorial stone quarries of its own and so the old Yorkstone memorials in churchyards only appear around the early to mid 1700s.

These examples in Hollym on the East coast are some of the earliest surviving outdoor stone memorials in Holderness.

Can you find any that are older?

I’ve been confined to the workshop making beautiful things during this weeks cold weather. It’s not because I don’t like cold weather before you ask. The reason is that neat cement can’t be used outdoors in temperatures like this.

The granite memorials get very cold and freeze the water in the mix before the chemical hardening process is complete, thereby weakening the joints.

So here’s a ground anchor installation, this stainless steel peg & tube device prevents the sudden collapse of a memorial. For example even if in a hundred years time it is leaning over at 30 degrees due to heave from tree roots. It’s a safety device for lawn type memorials that gives peace of mind and is just one of the key elements in compliance to BS8415

Apologies for not sharing anything on our page since the passing of my father last year. It’s been a difficult and incredibly hectic year but I think it’s time to start sharing again.

On a very positive note, here’s a little practice piece that my youngest daughter has carved with hammer & chisel ready for next years NAMM craft awards. I’m hoping she’ll be the 6th generation of Mason to carry on the tradition. Not bad for 15 years of age!

We will be closed all day Friday 18th August for the funeral of Clifford Penrose Everingham.

The service will be held at 11am at St Augustine’s church in Hedon before internment at the Ivy Lane Cemetery. Followed by refreshments and a celebration of his life in the Hedon British Legion on Magdalene Gate.
