About Fencing in Meopham
Meopham in Kent has one of the longest village streets in the county, stretching some seven miles and taking in the settlements of Hook Green, The Street, Meopham Green, Culverstone and Camer along the way. The area was already inhabited in the Stone Age, and archaeologists have uncovered a Romano British farmstead just south of the original village centre, with ditch boundaries and artefacts dated to between 80 and 120 AD. The name Meopham comes from Meapa-ham, recorded in a document from 774 AD and referring to an early settler named Meapa, and the manor has belonged to the Archbishops of Canterbury since the 10th century, when it passed from the wealthy Saxon landowner Byrhtric. One archbishop in particular left a lasting mark on the village, Simon de Mepham, who built the parish church between 1320 and 1325, though it later needed partial rebuilding by Archbishop William Courtenay following an earthquake in 1386. The railway station opened in 1863, beginning Meopham's long history as a London commuter village. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the DA13 postcode area.
