The village and civil parish of Meopham sits in the borough of Gravesham in Kent, largely spread along the ridge of the North Downs. Its settlements cluster around traditional greens such as Meopham Green and are characterised by a medieval parish church, timber‑framed and weatherboarded houses and a palpable sense of historic continuity.
Today Meopham blends a semi‑rural economy of farms and small businesses with a substantial commuter population thanks to regular rail services into London and good road links; local life revolves around village fetes, sports clubs (notably cricket), pubs and active conservation groups that help preserve the landscape and community character.
