The Riversmeet Benefice comprises the Church of England parishes of Blunham, Great Barford, Roxton and Tempsford with Little Barford. The four parishes are located around the confluence of the rivers Ivel and Great Ouse in the northwest of the Biggleswade Deanery, which is in the northeast of the St Albans Diocese. It forms part of the ten parishes of the Ivel Group.

The Benefice is situated approximately eight miles to the east of Bedford, the county town of Bedfordshire. The area around the parishes is rural with local farming being mainly arable. The local rural towns of Eaton Socon, St Neots, Sandy and Biggleswade are situated nearby along the A1 corridor, with fast train links to London and the north.

Our Rector is Revd Graham Buckle, who lives at the Rectory in Blunham. We have a Benefice Council which consists of churchwardens, treasurers, readers, parish administrator and incumbent. There are currently five churchwardens, three treasurers and three readers. The council meets four times a year to discuss the pattern of services, especially for festivals, support activity to reduce poverty, and improving social welfare. There are several Church of England schools supported by us, which provide the primary means of primary school education for all who live in our benefice area.

We are a very friendly Benefice, with the four parishes enjoying getting together regularly both for worship and social events (see the Events, and This Month in the Benefice pages for information on what events are taking place).

Great Barford has a small choir, and Blunham has a small four-part choir. The choirs combine to sing at Benefice services, and weddings and funerals when requested. Our organist plays at two services most Sundays and supports as many Christmas services across all the churches as possible.

There is also a band of ringers which will ring at the churches (all of which have bells). They are available to ring at weddings.
