The parish of Fring lies in northwestern Norfolk about 5 miles east of Norfolk's Wash coast and 7 miles southeast of the seaside resort of Hunstanton. Fring is sited in Norfolk's thin band of chalk, a landscape crossed immediately west of Fring by the ancient trackway of Peddar's Way. The low downland of this area is etched by the deep valley of the Heacham River and Fring village sits in the bottom of that valley with higher ground surrounding. Fring is not a substantial village although it is compact with most housing lying along the Docking to Dersingham lane or those which cross it.

All Saints church sits just to the north of the main crossroads of the village. The church is datable from style and documentary evidence to the 14th century. This date places it on the boundary between Decorated and Perpendicular styles and is a few decades earlier than many of Norfolk's more impressive churches. The church follows the standard pattern of nave, chancel and western tower, this being a trifle thin for my liking and slightly proportioned to the main bulk of the building. The church was, according to documentary evidence, extensively restored in the late Victorian period - as the bill was only a reported £350 it obviously was not as extensive as many. The roofing appears to be the most significant amendment being lower pitched than the original leaving the noticeable inverted "V" on the eastern side of the tower.
