Historique
La première mention écrite de la terre de Warhem date de 938, achetée par un châtelain de Bergues qui la donne aux moines de l'abbaye de Saint-Winoc. De cette époque date sans doute la première église, détruite au 16e siècle, et dont subsiste la tour. En 1566 et 1567, les Gueux ravagèrent l'édifice. En 1587, achèvement de la reconstruction du choeur et des chapelles latérales. En 1630, les travaux s'achèvent par les trois nefs. En 1694, reconstruction de la flèche suite à un tremblement de terre. De 1808 à 1863, restaurations. De 1895 à 1897, installation des vitraux.

History
The first written mention of the land of Warhem dates to 938, purchased by a castellan of Bergues who gave it to the monks of the abbey of Saint-Winoc. The first church, dating probably from this period, was destroyed in the 16th century, and the tower survives from it. In 1566 and 1567, the Gueux ravaged the building. In 1587, completion of the reconstruction of the choir and lateral chapels. In 1630, the work was completed by the three naves. In 1694, reconstruction of the spire following an earthquake. From 1808 to 1863, restorations. From 1895 to 1897, installation of the stained glass windows.
