Kilmeston is a small village in Hampshire, in the countryside east of Winchester. Historically the village has been known as Chelmestune or Kilmiston, and some sources still quote Kilmiston as the official name of the parish.

Kilmeston Manor, a substantial country house, is a grade II* listed building.[1]

The parish church of St Andrew has its origin in mediæval times. Rebuilt in 1772 and again in the late 19th century, it is a grade II listed building.[2]
