The Parish of Benefield


Download the latest Benefield Newsletter here.


The Parish of Benefield, which includes both Upper Benefield and Lower Benefield, is situated along the A427 road, between the market town of Oundle and the industrial town of Corby in Northamptonshire.

Since the local government reorganisation in April 2021, Benefield falls under the jurisdiction of the North Northamptonshire Unitary Council, which is responsible for providing all local services in the area.

This is a quiet rural area with many pleasant walks around the local countryside.

In Lower Benefield, you’ll find the Parish Church of St. Mary’s, a historic and much-loved landmark, alongside the village hall, which serves as a hub for local events and gatherings.

Benefield Cricket and Social Club in Upper Benefield offers a friendly venue for both sports and social activities, making it a valued part of village life.

Both villages are served by the X4 bus route, providing a regular and convenient service between Peterborough and Northampton, with stops in Benefield for easy access to nearby towns.
