Leeds Village Hall

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome - Yes!.. Leeds Village has a Village Hall. If you blink you might miss it but it's here located right in the heart of the village.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, coming from the motorway it is on the left, just before the George pub and coming from Langley it is on the right just after the George pub... Amazing right! On the outside it looks like an Army hut, which indeed it once was. The Memorial Hall as it used to be known by some. Inside, however, it is attractive, full of character and surprisingly spacious.

It is run by the village for the village, and as such provides a meeting place both for village organisations and for anyone to hold their special events. So it's here for you to use whenever you wish, at reduced rates for all who live in Leeds ( Kent NOT Yorkshire ! ). There's ample parking beside the church and access for all via a ramp or steps.

NEWS: We are having some exterior work done to the hall starting at the end of February,

this will be quite major work , renewing the wood cladding to the righthand side and rear of the building, it should take approximately 3 weeks to complete, We hope it doesn't cause too much disruption to the local neighbours, our apologies if it does.

Leeds Village...

Leeds village in Kent cannot, of course, be compared with Leeds in Yorkshire which is probably the first 'hit' you get when searching for Leeds on the web. We are a small community with fewer than 1000 inhabitants, nestling at the foot of the North Downs in the heart of the Kent countryside five miles south east of Maidstone.

Castle Life...

Listed in Domesday Book as a Saxon manor, Leeds Castle has played many roles. A Norman stronghold; the private property of six of England’s medieval queens; a palace used by Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon; a Jacobean country house; a Georgian mansion; an elegant early 20th-century retreat for the influential and famous; and, in the 21st century, it has become one of the most visited historic buildings in Britain.

The way it was...

The village may have taken its name from the stream known in early times was known as the Hlyde…… the loud or noisy one. We know the original settlement was called Hlydes – 'belonging to the noisy one' and is recorded as Esleades, 1086, Hlydea, Hledes c.1100 and Leeds 1610.
