Warehorne Grade I listed.
The oldest part of the church is circa 1200, although the Domesday Book states there was a previous church here.
The aisles and chancel are 14th C. There is no chancel arch. An original western stone tower was completed mid 15th C. 
The tower was struck by lightning in 1770 and was rebuilt in brick, the original tower arch surviving.
Both aisles are 3 bay arcades with round piers of Bethersden marble with coloured stratification.
The north aisle was probably originally a lady chapel with the glass at the top of the north east window original 14th C. Remains of openings to the rood loft can be seen. Original king posts in the roof.
The south aisle had a chapel to St Catherine, patron saint of wool. Indeed the pub opposite the church is "The Woolpack".
There was originally a musicians gallery, removed in 1889.
There are box pews and text and commandment boards throughout this light and airy church, partially due to lack of stained glass.
