Great Mongeham is a village and civil parish in the Dover District of east Kent, England, on the outskirts of Deal.

When the site for the new primary school was being dug in February 1949 the body of a man and two fragments of food vessels were found.

In 1415 Henry V granted the Fogge family of Mongeham the exclusive rights to brew and ship beer to the English soldiers in Calais.

Parts of Great Mongeham's church, St Martin's, date back to the 13th century and it has a complicated history.

She came from Mongeham and spent much of her life in service with the Bridges family who lived at St. Nicholas-at-Wade in Thanet, where Robert himself is buried.

The Crayfords were once a prominent local family but Stone Hall, their house by the church, was demolished long ago.

Significant figures who have lived in the village include Captain Robert Maynard,[4] Stephen Haggett, Proctor of Queens' College, Cambridge in the seventeenth century[citation needed] and Olivia Barclay, astrologer.
