History

All Saints' Anglican Church dates from about 1340. It was restored in 1861. There was also a chapel of the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion in the village in the 19th century. [2]

Among the past rectors of the parish of Fordham was Roger Walden (died 1406), who was briefly Archbishop of Canterbury and then Bishop of London. [3] The noted classical scholar Thomas Twining, a member of the tea-merchant family, held the curacy of the church from 1764 until his death in 1804. [4]

Present day

All Saints Church is the parish church of Fordham and is part of the Diocese of Chelmsford. On 7 April 1965, the church was designated a Grade I listed building. [1]

All Saints Church is within the Conservative Evangelical tradition of the Church of England, and it has passed resolutions that reject the ordination of women. [5]
