 Although located near the geographical centre of the parish, only a few cottages were in close proximity to the new church, with the majority of the buildings in the parish on the main road at Fordstreet.However, since that time, there has been much building near the church and the area has become known as "Aldham Village" to differentiate it from Fordstreet.Since 1951, the parish has been held jointly with Marks Tey.
