Meopham Mill
Meopham Mill, a
Grade II listed building, is situated within the Green Conservation
area in the centre of Meopham and forms a highly distinctive
feature in the village.
The mill was built in 1821 by the Killick brothers, a well known
Kentish milling family and it is the last in a line of mills
serving Meopham.
It was built as a 'model' mill to demonstrate milling, so was
very well constructed.
John Norton and his nephew took over the mill from Thomas
Killick in 1889 and in 1959, the Nortons transferred it to Kent
County Council.
Meopham Mill is open to the public for part of the year and
is looked after by the Meopham Mill Trust. The machinery is
complete, although due to long term deterioration, it is not in
working order.
