Fordon Church

St. James Church, Fordon

Sunday 23rd August 2015

This quaint little church is in the hamlet of Fordon. This year it celebrated its 900th anniversary with a special service in July conducted by the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu. Services are still held here on the first Sunday in the month. The church is a Grade 2 listed building and was restored in 1876 and 1923, hence the modern brick. According to Historic England, the church is the smallest in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Fordon lies in a beautiful valley north of Wold Newton on the Wolds.
