The main village was constructed in the early 1960s, after earlier sporadic development in both Pitt and Gravelly Bottom Roads on land given to soldiers returning from WW1. Kingswood is situated to the south of the more ancient village of Broomfield. The village has a single village shop/post office but no public house. 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 World War II bombs; the origin of the craters is unknown.
