The parish of Little Witchingham lies in eastern central Norfolk about 2 1/2 miles southeast of the small market town of Reepham. Little Witchingham is one of the smaller parishes in Norfolk, just 730 acres and fewer than 50 inhabitants. Little Witchingham is an estate village with most land held by a single landholder, the Howard family of Little Witchingham Hall, and inbound migration discouraged this led to there being no village as such for the parish. Properties are scattered across the small acreage with no distinct clump that one could call the centre. The land hereabouts sits above the valley of the River Wensum and is flat and fairly featureless dominated by large arable fields which have always been the mainstay of the economy. The broad lane running from Norwich to Reepham cuts through the parish separating church and hall which lie either side.

St Faith's church sits to the west of the Reepham road, on the northern side of the narrow lane running towards Great Witchingham. The church is redundant and was ruinous until the fortunate discovery of its collection of medieval wall paintings in 1967. These wall paintings are amongst the most complete set discovered and make a visit to lonely St Faith a must to view them, begun in or close to 1360 they show a long series of Passion and Resurrection scenes as well as portraits of the Apostles, they are an important work and would have been a great loss had the church been lost. The building itself covers a period roughly from c1300 through to the early 15th century. The usual mixture of Decorated and Perpendicular styles characteristic of those dates apply. The nave, chancel and southern aisle as well as the basal stage of the tower are Decorated whilst the top stage of the tower is later and Perpendicular. The church is found adjacent to a rough footpath and accompanied by Church Farm, the verge has been flattened sufficient to park a single car off of the narrow lane. A shady site with no bordering wall, merely tightly hugging trees bordering the tiny churchyard which, therefore, presents a challenge to the photographer.
