The village of Letheringsett is situated in the valley of the River Glaven and has two watermills, Letheringsett Brewery watermill which stands on the west side of the river next to the A148 road bridge and is now disused, and Letheringsett Watermill which lies 150 yards to the south. It is the last working watermill in the county of Norfolk, has won several prestigious awards for its flour production and is a well-known tourist attraction. Next to the Brewery watermill is the village pub, the King’s Head, which was built in the Georgian period.

The church appears on a Royal Mail stamp issued on 21 June 1972 as part of a set on British Architecture (Village Churches).
