Kingsbury Episcopi is a compact village and civil parish in Somerset, England, sitting on the edge of the low-lying Somerset Levels where farmland meets slightly higher, rolling countryside. Its name - part "Kingsbury" and part the Latin "Episcopi" - hints at a long history of manorial and ecclesiastical links, and it lies close to other small market towns such as Martock and Langport.
Locally the village is known for a well-preserved medieval parish church and for its agricultural character, with traditional mixed farming and orchards still shaping the landscape. Social life is centred on a lively village community - schools, halls, pubs and clubs host regular events and fêtes - so despite its rural setting it retains a strong, active sense of place.
