Elmsted is a village and civil parish[1] in the Folkestone and Hythe District of Kent, England. It is located west of Stone Street (the B2068),[2] the Roman road which today takes traffic between Canterbury and Lympne. Within the parish are the settlements of Bodsham, North Leigh and Evington.[3] There are six elected members of the Parish Council.[4]
The parish's name, Elmsted, is formed of two words. Elm refers to the large number of Elm trees that grew there in Saxon times. The second part, sted, comes from the Saxon word stede meaning 'place'.[5]
