East Kennett is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Marlborough.

[2] The neighbouring village of West Kennett is on the opposite bank a short distance upstream,[3] in Avebury parish.

[8] Some 600 metres north of the village, at Overton Hill, the trackway becomes the Ridgeway National Trail which runs northeast as far as Buckinghamshire.

The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded holdings in Chenete, the area which later became East and West Kennett.

After her death in 1882 it became a Church of England elementary school, and pupils of all ages attended until 1924 when older children transferred to Avebury or West Overton.
