The parish of Wood Dalling lies in central Norfolk tucked away in the lanes to the north of the small market town of Reepham. There is little in the way of a nucleated village, there is simply a collection of cottages and farms loosely spread over a largely flat plateau. In the west of the parish lies the eponymous Hall which is probably reflective of the parish as being a "closed" parish with entry restricted by land ownership.

St Andrew's church lies at what might be deemed to be the centre of the parish, a complex intersection of lanes hosting a group of cottages. The church is a mixture of ages with parts dating from the early 13th century through to the late 15th. As a consequence there is also a mixture of architectural styles with Perpendicular sitting alongside Decorated. The stately western tower also shows signs of having been extended and repaired numerous times over the centuries.
