In May 2015 Fordham Local History Society decided to go ahead and apply for the Heritage Lottery Grant for a WW1 Fordham Community Project. We were successful with our application and received £10,000. Our project would be a fitting commemoration to all the men and their families who went to war; to those who returned and to others who fell in distant fields. We were successful with our application.
Go to the War Memorial page for the list of men remembered on our war memorial.
Listed here are the names of men who were added to the memorial, all these names are now on the Essex Roll of Honour which has been updated with all the correct information.
