History

The main village was constructed in the early 1960's with earlier sporadic development in both Pitt and Gravelly Bottom Roads during the 1920 and 1930's. Kingswood is situated to the south of the more ancient village of Broomfield. An annual senior citizen outing is arranged by the parish council and paid for from the village precept.

The woods surrounding the village has three large craters often mistakenly attributed to WW II bombs, the origin of the craters is unknown
