The parish of Seething lies in southeastern Norfolk roughly 3 miles west of the small market town of Loddon. Seething sits almost midway between the B1332 (Norwich to Bungay) road and the A146 (Norwich to Beccles) road and about 3 miles from either. Seething is something of a linear village, its northern end formed around a triangular area of land with a taile heading south along the lane which leads to Hedenham. Like many Norfolk villages Seething acquired a World War 2 airfield which remains to this day as a private airfield for a local flying club. The easy terrain which allowed prolific airfields to be created has also allowed arable farming to grow into broad fields which nowadays dominate the local landscape, whereas at the time of this transcript estimates place 25% of the parish's acreage to pastures, a rare sight today. A measure of the area's terrain is typified by that lane to Hedenham which does not vary in height above the sea by more than a handful of metres in the distance from Seething to Hedenham of almost 4 miles.

St Margaret & St Remigius' church sits at the northern end of the village on the northern edge of that triangular patch of land between two lanes. The presence of a round tower is usually indicative of an early church and Pevsner confirms the 12th century Norman origin of this one. The slit windows on the tower's sides with their round arch tops are typical of the Norman Romanesque style. The remainder of the church is later, perhaps indicative of a significant rebuild when wealth permitted. The mixture of both Decorated & Perpendicular styles shown by the church's windows is typical for its county, those of the chancel are sufficiently detailed for Pevsner to tentatively grant a date of c1320. The neat thatched roofing dates from the later 15th century and like most churches a significant Victorian rebuild undoubtedly occurred albeit Pevsner declines to give a date for that work. The main entrance to the church sits on the southern side of Brooke Road where the inset gates provide sufficient room for a car to get off-lane. The churchyard has a few evergreens dotted around but they do not significantly impact the better aspects for the photographer.
