A short history of Kings Hill

Building on the estate at Kings Hill began in 1989, and the village has continued to grow ever since. The land on which it sits has a long history, first as a hunting ground and later as an airbase for RAF West Malling, which was used as a landing area during the First World War and suffered significant damage. As of the 2011 census, Kings Hill had a population of just under 8,000.
