The parish of Flordon lies about 8 miles south of the city of Norwich. Flordon is sited about 2 miles west of the busy A140 road which links Norwich to Ipswich, the village sits in lanes immediately to the west of the Norwich to London railway line. Flordon is a small but compact village which has grown up in a side valley of the River Tas where small tributary flow down to join the main river between Tasburgh and Newton Flotman. Flordon is a small village there are no services such as large shops and pubs it is merely a grouping of cottages and farms. It would seem to have always been so judging by the size of this transcript - a reflection of a low population.

St Michael's church is tucked away behind cottages to the north of Flordon's main street. The church shows signs of being ancient with nave windows which Pevsner dates to the Saxon period. He also notes the traces of what had once been a round tower, also typical of that period, which has fallen or been removed over the centuries (the Victorians gave the building its little bellcote). The chancel shows detail of the decorated period so is a later build or rebuild and as usual the Victorians did their usual restorations. The whole is a simple but effective place of worship - not one of Norfolk's grandest but a peaceful place appropriate to a small village setting.
