Mersham is a small rural village and civil parish on the outskirts of Ashford in Kent, England. It sits amid rolling farmland and pockets of parkland and retains a historic village core with a medieval parish church, traditional cottages and a manor-house presence that reflect its long agricultural past.

Today the community mixes long-established farming families with commuters who value easy access to the facilities and transport links in Ashford, including Ashford International station and the M20. Local life centres on village events, a parish hall and the occasional pub or small business, and the locality is popular with walkers and anyone wanting quiet Kentish countryside within reach of larger towns and the coast.
