Toddington Manor

Toddington Manor

Toddington Manor is a 19th century country house in the English county of Gloucestershire, near the village of Toddington. It is in the gothic style and was designed by Charles Hanbury-Tracy, 1st Baron Sudeley for himself and built between 1819 and 1840. It is a Grade I listed building. In 2004, planning permission to convert it into a hotel was denied after the scheme had attracted considerable local opposition. In 2005 it was purchased by the artist Damien Hirst who plans to restore it and use it as a family home and a gallery for his own works and his collection of works by other artists. [cite news
