Kingsdown lies within the town of Sittingbourne, in the ME 9 postal district of Kent. The area is part of the Diocese of Canterbury and falls under the Benefice of Sittingbourne with Bobbing Parish, which includes Holy Trinity Church in Sittingbourne. The church, originally built in 1869 and subsequently rebuilt, serves as a focal point for local religious and community activities. The locality is linked historically to Thomas Pemberton Leigh, 1st Baron Kingsdown, a noted 19th‑century barrister, judge and politician who was elevated to the peerage as Baron Kingsdown in 1858. While the population of the broader parish is 6,090, Kingsdown itself is a small, residential area that benefits from its proximity to the town centre of Sittingbourne and the amenities that the parish of Sittingbourne Holy Trinity with Bobbing offers.
