It lies 8 mi (13 km) north‑north‑west of Aylsham and 5 mi (8 km) south‑south‑west of Cromer. In 1931 the parish had a population of 122. On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Sustead. The locality is situated within the NR 11 postal district, placing it in the broader Norwich area. The village’s setting between two larger towns suggests a rural character with access to nearby towns for services and amenities. The historical reference to its former civil parish status indicates a long-standing community identity, while the merger into Sustead reflects administrative changes over time. The data points to a small, historically rooted settlement within North Norfolk’s rural landscape.
