Meopham /ˈmɛpəm/ is a large linear village and civil parish in the Borough of Gravesham and ceremonial county of Kent, in England, and lies to the south of Gravesend. The parish covers 6.5 square miles (17 km2), and comprises two villages and two smaller settlements; it has a population of 6,427, increasing slightly to 6,722 at the 2011 census. Meopham has been described as having one of the longest village streets in Kent, being 7 miles (11 km) in length.
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 medieval manor 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.

Move Me
by: Rod StewartIt'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
