About

Fordham & Isleham ward encompasses two main villages within the flat, agricultural landscape of East Cambridgeshire. The area is characterised by extensive arable farmland and waterways, including parts of the River Lark. Fordham is the larger settlement with a traditional high street, while Isleham is known for its historic Priory and large village green.

A notable landmark is Isleham Priory Church, a well-preserved Norman church standing isolated in a field. The ward also contains significant areas of fenland and is crossed by several drainage channels, reflecting the ongoing management of the low-lying terrain. Community life focuses on local schools, village halls, and public houses, with a pattern of life shaped by the rural setting and proximity to larger towns like Ely.
