Nicholas Eversfield (MP for Bramber)

Nicholas Eversfield (c.1646–1684), of Charlton Court, Steyning, Sussex, was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1679.

Eversfield was the only son of John Eversfield and his first wife Hester Knight, daughter of John Knight of Westergate, who brought him the wealth to buy Charlton Court.

He succeeded to his father’s estate in 1678 and was returned as Member of Parliament for Bramber for the first Exclusion Parliament in 1679, probably on the interest of his cousins the Goring family.

[1] Eversfield died in 1684 leaving a son and two daughters.

He was succeeded by his son Charles who was MP for different Sussex constituencies between 1705 and 1747.
