Leeds, Kent

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Not to be confused with the large city of the same name in Yorkshire, Leeds, Kent is a village near Maidstone. Leeds is famous for lovely Leeds Castle, a moated medieval fortress dating to the 12th century. The parish church of St Nicholas has a large Norman tower thought to be the second highest in Britain. The church may date to the Saxon period, and it contains a medieval rood screen and and a 15th century wood-beamed roof. There was once a priory in Leeds, founded around 1119, but that was destroyed in Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. The site of the priory can be see behind the George Inn.
