LATEST NEWS
Princess Anne visits Fordham

Princess Ann flew in to Fordham on 26th September 2007 to officially open the affordable housing at Rams Farm Road, provided by the Rural Housing Trust. The great and good of Fordham, together with local dignitaries, school children and other interested persons turned out for this special event. Princess Ann spent some time in the village chatting with the guests.

See further details at the link below.

Our much liked postie, Adrian Hearn, was tragically taken from us in 2006. The village made a collection for a memorial to him and it was decided to provide a picnic table in his memory, close to the Post Office and on our village green.
