St.Matthew

WAREHORNE is first mentioned in a Charter of the Saxon King Egbert (820 AD) in which it is called Werehornas. The Domesday Book states that there was a church here then, but no visible remains of an early Saxon or Norman building survive. The present structure was probably completed by 1450 - 1500 .The tower was originally stone, but after being struck by lightning in 1770, was rebuilt in brick by 1777.
