The parish of Letheringsett lies in northern Norfolk about a mile west of the market town of Holt. Letheringsett sits on the busy A148 road where it crosses the River Glaven, the village suffers somewhat from the traffic passing through, a patina of dust on the faces of the properties diminishes its attractiveness. The village would have largely been an arable settlement at the time of this transcript, although the hall and its grounds would have provided some variation with pastures and parkland. For such a small place it was once home to a fairly large brewery which has disappeared over the centuries.

St Andrew's church sits a few yards away from the busy road in a small side road. The round tower immediately indicates an old church and this one is dated by Pevsner to the 11th century albeit with a 14th century top. From that latter century comes much of the remainder of the building, of the classic nave, chancel & western tower format. A mixture of Decorated style, the chancel, with progressing on into Perpendicular, for much of the fenestration. The Victorian amendments include the southern porch and the nave roof, which Pevsner claims has "an excess of structural elements". The church sits within a churchyard bordered by a knee-high stone wall topped with rails, a metal gateway granting access. The pretty parkland setting is a sharp contrast to the nearby traffic.
