The parish of Wicklewood lies in the eastern part of central Norfolk about 2 miles northwest of the market town of Wymondham. Wicklewood is located roughly a half mile south of the B1135 road which links Wymondham with East Dereham. Wicklewood is a substantial village built largely around a collection of lanes which form a reversed "D" shape, the easternmost running north/south and the others curving to join to the west. Wicklewood would have been largely an agricultural community, the soils are light and easily worked hereabouts, the village sits on a ridge of higher ground which heads westwards. To the north the land falls into the valley of a tributary of the River Tiffey and the landscaped grounds of the Kimberley estate. With the coming of the mid-Norfolk Railway Wicklewood saw some notable growth and today it serves a newer role as a commuter village for Norwich little more than 10 miles away.

St Andrew & All Saints church lies at the western end of Wicklewood, on the northern side of the lane which leads from Wymondham to Hingham and passes through the village. There are minor indications of an earlier origin but much of this church is Perpendicular and very typical of a Norfolk church. The layout is unusual in that the tower is not at the customary western end but to the south of the nave & chancel and incorporates the entrance porch within it. Much of the fabric is 14th or 15th century but as usual the Victorians made their usual restorations in this case in 1865. The church presents its bold southern tower towards the junction of lanes as you approach from the east and there is an easy parking area to stop and view the building.
