Fordham is a small village and civil parish in Norfolk, England between Hilgay and Denver near the town of Downham Market. The parish falls in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk. It covers an area of 8.94 km2 (3.45 sq mi) and had a population of 71 in 29 households at the 2001 UK census. For the purposes of local government, it falls within the District of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.
Fordham lies on the River Wissey. It is also near the ten mile (16 km) bank. [not explained]
If Fordham's population remained at under 100 in 2011 the number would have been added to the population of one of its neighbours. Wikipedia did not identify the parish with which it was paired.
