What is the setting of Godric by Frederick Buechner?

In a strictly technical sense, the book is probably set exclusively in Godric's hermitage near the River Wear. There is some ambiguity about the nature of the book's narrations. At times, Godric's recollections are explicitly framed by Reginald's (often frustrated) attempts to interview him. Sometimes, Reginald is not around and Godric is reflecting internally. At other times, Buechner makes no attempt to provide a frame and simply presents some episode of Godric's biography.
