==History== thumb|left|The village pump and trough, bearing the symbol of the Inigo-Jones Estate at Kelston Park, which carried out works in the village in the mid-1800s Kelston was part of the hundred of Bath Forum. The name of the village was recorded as Calveston in 1178. The familiar -ton ending indicates farmstead or estate. The first part of the name may mean "belonging to a person, possibly Celf or Caelf". However, it may mean a place where calves were reared.
