Meopham is the
longest village in England and is a large rural Parish with a
population of approximately 9500 residing in an area of eight and a
half square miles. The centre is just five miles south of Gravesend
and the River Thames.
The Parish of Meopham has four main greens - Culverstone Green,
Harvel Green, Hook Green and Meopham Green - and it is on the last
of these that cricket has been played since 1778. It is overlooked
by The Cricketers Inn, one of Meopham's well known public houses
and also by the Windmill, built by the Killick Brothers in 1801 and
now the headquarters of the Parish Council. Visits to the Windmill
can be made in the summer months by arrangement with the Windmill
Trust.
You need to cross the
