In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Fordley like this:
FORDLEY, a quondam parish in Blything district, Suffolk; on the river Badingham, near the East Suffolk railway, 3¾ miles NE of Saxmundham. It is now incorporated with Middleton; but the living of it still ranks as a rectory, annexed to the rectory of Middleton, in the diocese of Norwich. Its church stood in the same yard as the church of Middleton.
Fordley is now part of EAST SUFFOLK District. Click here for graphs and data of how EAST SUFFOLK has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Fordley itself, go to Statistics.
