Warehorne


Warehorne is a village and civil parish in the south of the Ashford Borough of Kent, England. It is a scattered community centred on the Hamstreet to Tenterden road around seven miles SSW of Ashford. The Royal Military Canal passes through the south of the civil parish.
The first mention of Warehorne is in a charter of the Saxon King Egbert, A.D. 820, where it is called "Werehornas".
The Domesday Survey of 1086 mentions Warehorne by name and states that a church existed there. The present church shows no sign of Saxon or of Norman work.
Warehorne was also where Reverend Richard Harris Barham, the author of the Ingoldsby Legends, resided for a short while.
