Meopham is said to have one of the longest village streets in Kent, at seven miles in length, but anyone who has gone from one end to the other must feel it is one of the longest in England. The main village is divided into four named settlements, and Meopham Green has by far the largest remaining village green in the parish. The main A227 road passes on the far side, and around the other two sides are buildings, many of which are of 18th and 19th century origin. Cricket has been played on Meopham Green since at least 1776. In the distance is Killick's Mill, built by James Killick, a millwright from Strood, in 1801. The mill worked by wind until 1929 and then by engine until 1965. It has been fully restored and is now in full working order.
