About Fordham
Fordham lies on the A142 between Soham and Newmarket, on the edge of the chalk country that stretches south towards the racecourses. The village grew up around St Peter’s Church and a crossing of the River Snail, a small chalk stream that flows on towards Soham.
The parish has its own neighbourhood plan, made in 2018, which guides how the village grows.
