Mongewell is a hamlet in the civil parish of Crowmarsh, near Wallingford in the English county of Oxfordshire. It is on the east bank of the Thames, and connected to the west by the nearby Wallingford By-pass Bridge. The earthwork Grim's Ditch, now part of the Ridgeway long-distance footpath, passes through Mongewell. A Jewish boarding school, Carmel College, was based at Mongewell Park from 1948 to 1997. Mongewell Park had previously been home to Shute Barrington, former Bishop of Llandaff.
