🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Leeds is a village and civil parish in the Maidstone district of Kent, England.

Geography: Location The village is located five miles (8.0 km) to the east of Maidstone, the county town of Kent.

Etymology It appeared in the Domesday Book as Esledes, possibly referring to a stream name. It is so called because the village is on the hillside above the River Len, a tributary of the River Medway. An alternative explanation for the name is that it derived its name from Ledian, who built the first wooden fortress here in 978.

Notable features St Nicholas's Church has the second largest Norman tower in England. To the east of the village is Leeds Castle. The church and the castle are Grade I listed buildings and the site of the priory is a scheduled monument.
