Leeds, a parish in the hundred of Eyehorne, lathe of Aylesford, county of Kent, 5 miles SE from Maidstone, containing 515 inhabitants... The church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, has at the west end a remarkably low square tower. Leeds is said to have derived its name from Ledian, counsellor to Ethelbert II., who built here a fortress in 978.https://www.culpepperconnections.com/archives/uk/places/leeds.htm
