Heversham is a village and civil parish in the Westmorland and Furness unitary authority area of Cumbria, England.
[1] It is situated above the marshes of the Kent estuary which gives some fine views, notably from Heversham Head where there is a toposcope.
It has a variety of recreational facilities, including a fully functioning outdoor activities centre, tennis courts, bowling green and a playground.
According to the Historia de Sancto Cuthberto, in the early tenth century its abbot, who was called Tilred, purchased the village of Castle Eden and gave half of it to Norham abbey so that he could be abbot there, perhaps because Heversham Abbey had been destroyed by the Vikings.
It used to be next to the church but was moved to Leasgill due to the fact that the toilets were right above the village water supply.
