Kimbolton is a village and parish in Herefordshire, England, around 3miles north east of Leominster and 15miles north of Hereford. The village is on the A4112 road, near its junction with the A49 road.[1] The church is dedicated to St James, has 13th-century features and has two Norman windows in the chancel. The spire is shingled.

Bath Camp, a small Iron Age hill fort, lies on a ridge above the Whyte Brook about 1.5miles south east of the church.

The parish had a population in mid-2010 of 434,[2] increasing to 472 at the 2011 Census.[3]
