Historically, Leeds would have provided employment for the majority of its inhabitants on the land, in the castle, or in the many trades that proliferated before the advent of the motor car.

Its inhabitants now travel to London – by car and train – to all places around the M25 and to Maidstone and its surrounding area.

The road through Leeds has become a major access to the M20.  There are no longer any shops in Leeds but there is always a warm welcome in our two public houses, the George Inn and the Ten Bells.

We are a friendly village with many activities in which to take an interest.  The Parish Council meets on the second Tuesday in the month in the Village Hall at 7.30pm with the exception of January and August.  Everyone is welcome to come and time is given for the residents to comment on their concerns.  Residents also receive a free copy of the Church & Village News, which is published by the Leeds & Broomfield Parochial Church Council.

This is only a potted history of Leeds village.  There are links to Leeds Castle, the village school, church, the local pubs and the many other organisations and societies that make up our community.
