History
The name of the village derives from Meapaham (Meapa's village): it is first recorded in 788, in the time of King Offa. The modern pronunciation of the name comes from different ways of writing and spelling.
Benedictine monks established a priory hospital at Meopham in the 12th century and throughout the Middle Ages three medievalmanor houses - those of Meopham, Dodmore and Nurstead - governed the land now occupying the parish.Edward Hasted in 1797 described the village as being "out of the way" and with "no well frequented thoroughfare through it". Since the 1920s, when the road numbering scheme started, the main road through the village, the A227, has become busier as a through-route connecting North Kent with the M20 motorway at the foot of the North Downs, although this now has been somewhat relieved by the M25.

It's obvious darlin' you've become allergic to me Are my trousers to wide Do I drink and get mean Is my demeanor that embarrassing Are my jokes obsolete Or is it my sweat that's no longer sweet I work hard in the factory to keep you in luxury to which you've grown accustomed and you love Lately you don't light my fuse Is my fan belt coming loose Punch me in the Bible baby please Move me, move me, move me when I'm home Why don't you move me, move me move me when I'm home Sometimes baby I awake in the night I reach out to touch you but I'm scared you might bite A little emotion wouldn't be out of place Wake up and love me put a smile on my face Otis Redding said it best try a little tenderness Aretha wanted more Respect Give me just a little touch that ain't really asking much your dog gets more attention than I do Move me, move me, move me when I'm home Come on and move me, move me, move me when I'm home Sometimes I wonder if you'll miss me at all emotionally independent, as hard as a wall You're so wrapped up in your own little world your old time religion is your lunch with the girls When I'm standing next to you even in a crowd I might as well be on another planet Tell me what I've done to you to justify this ridicule if it's over why don't we forget it Move me, soothe me, move me, rock me move me when I'm home Why don't you move me, love me, move me, rock me move me when I'm home Why don't you rock me, move me, love me, soothe me move me when I'm home Why don't you rock me, rock me, move me, soothe me soothe me when I'm home
