Newton Flotman is located south of Norwich astride the main A140 road to Ipswich. The parish is situated on the north-eastern bank of the Tas River at the point this road crosses the river.

St Mary's Church is sited on the higher ground north of the present village, it is a typical 15th Century Norfolk Perpendicular church and is well preserved and seems very active.

These entries were transcribed from microfiche 3 & 4 in the Norfolk Record Office collection for the parish.

Generally the entries were legible but for a considerable period the ink was exceptionally faded. Luckily in that period the Bishop's Transcripts enabled the transcript to be completed
