Hemsted Park, historically sometimes known as Hempsted Park, is a 100 hectares (250 acres) former country estate and manor house north-west of the village of Benenden in the English county of Kent. It is the site of Benenden School, an independent boarding school for girls. The school operates a commercial arts programme using the name Hemsted Park. The park was the seat of the Guldeford baronets until 1718. Hemsted House, which stands in the grounds and is the main building of the school, is a 19th century house. It was built in an Elizabethan style in the early 1860s and remodelled at the beginning of the 20th century. A single first-class cricket match was held on a ground at the park in 1843.
