The parish of Tibenham lies in southern Norfolk about 6 miles north of the market town of Diss and a similar distance southeast of Attleborough. Tibenham is a strangely shaped village, most properties lies along a curving lane which turns back on itself leaving and rejoining the lane which connects Winfarthing to Carleton Rode. Tibenham sits in a broad area devoid of major roads, a couple of minor (B-class) roads passing only as close as a couple of miles. Today this area is intensely agricultural whereas descriptions from the 19th century state at least a quarter of the land was used as meadow & pasture. To Tibenham's southeast is a legacy of World War II, Tibenham airfield was developed as early as the First World War and extended in the second as a heavy bomber base, today it is the centre for skydivers to practice their jumps.

All Saints' church sits on the northern sweep of Tibenham's curving lane hidden behind screening trees. The bulk of the church is fairly typical for a Norfolk church built across the architectural fashion boundary, commencing as Decorated and finishing in the Perpendicular, but that is too simplistic a story. Pevsner is quick to point to a window in the nave which has Norman Romanesque styling whilst the eastern window of the chancel has classic Early English lancet windows. The story is perhaps of an early church much renewed and rebuilt during the great church building era of the 14th century. The church's principal feature is its tall western Perpendicular tower topped with representations of the 4 evangelists. As one approaches along Church Road the church is almost hidden behind tall trees arching over it metal railed border, a wide verge allows parking by the gates where a long pathway crosses the elongated churchyard. The area within is thankfully free of major photographic obstructions.
