Womenswold is a village and civil parish situated about 7 miles (11 km) south-east of Canterbury, Kent, England, 1 mile to the east of the A2 road. The parish consists of three hamlets; Womenswold, Woolage Village and Woolage Green.

Historically, Womenswold has been recorded with various spellings, including Wymynswold^[1] and Wimlingswold.^[2] A further one may be Wymelyngewolde ^[3]

The church of St, Margaret of Antioch covers all three hamlets, and is situated in Womenswold itself. A small mediaeval building without any side aisles, it is part of the Barham Downs group of churches.
