The parish of Gimingham sits in North-Eastern Norfolk barely a mile from the North Sea coast and 4 miles north of the market town of North Walsham. The village is small and is strung out along a narrow lane which runs from the coastal road inland towards Trunch. Most houses and farm cottages are gathered around a junction of lanes just north of Gimingham's mill at a crossing of a small brook. Here is one of the features of the village; a small collection of fish ponds which has been dug to the north-west of the lane.

All Saints church is to the south of the brook, a few metres higher to keep its feet dry. The church is old for Norfolk with the chancel from the Decorated era, nave and tower are typical Perpendicular architecture. The church was substantially restored in the Victorian era, a common feature, which resulted in major work on tower and chancel.
