Great Munden is a village and civil parish in Hertfordshire, and is situated 6 miles (9.7 km) north of the town of Ware. The village includes the church of St Nicholas, and a rectory that includes the remains of a moat. Other settlements in the parish include Nasty and Levens Green. A detached portion of Little Munden was added to the parish in 1888.

In 1990 the Guard Family bought this redundant church and undertook a ten year restoration, partially with help from a Heritage Lottery grant. They now present operas, concerts and plays, together with Art Exhibitions and local events. The church still has occasional services.
Munden is mentioned as early as the reign of King Edmund (940-946) when a certain Ethelgifu left it to one Elfwold for life.
Immediately before the conquest it belonged to Eddeva (Eadgith) the Fair. In 1086 the king had given it to the Norman Count Alan of Brittany. But it is not until about the year 1120 that there appears to have been a church at Much Munden
