FORDHAM CHURCH

Fordham Church is steeped in history. The first record of the church dates from 1087 when it was recorded as a gift from William the Conqueror to the Abbey of Bec in Normandy. The nave is believed to date from this time. There have been several alterations to the church, a major reconstruction having taken place early in the 14th Century, and a number of re-orderings and major repairs recorded in 1547, in 1633, in the 1680s, in 1796 when the spire fell and the tower was rebuilt without it, and a further restoration in 1861 and another in 1907. The recently completed 2010 re-ordering carried out under architect Quinlan Terry CBE, a former member of the congregation, therefore stands as a timely milestone in the history of Fordham... We believe that we need to depend on God the Holy Spirit in all we do through prayer, before each service and in our regular prayer meetings... We believe that we should partner with those who are also committed to the unity found in the one God, Father..
