The parish of Little Snoring lies in northern Norfolk about 2 miles northeast of the market town Fakenham. The village lies just north of the A148 road which links Fakenham most of the housing being along the lane that runs from that road to the pilgrim site of Walsingham. Little Snoring sits on a broad agricultural plateau, a fact taken advantage of in World War II when an airfield was built just northeast of the village. This still remains as a light aircraft runway. Little Snoring is just one of a pair of settlements with its larger neighbour which barely justifies its tag of "Great" these days as modern homes have expanded the lesser village due to its proximity to the main road.

St Andrew's church lies to the north of the village adjacent to the aforementioned lane running to Walsingham. Its round tower signifies its great age with this often being indicative of a pre-Conquest church. Pevsner certainly gives it at least a Norman date for some of the structure. The rest is a hotchpotch of dates and styles from Early English through Decorated to the more familiar Perpendicular. As usual there are later restoration changes and additions, the nave in the 18th century and the chancel roof from the 19th. On its sloping site the church does look very atmospheric and timeless.
