Toddington, Gloucestershire

Toddington, Gloucestershire

Toddington is a village and civil parish in north Gloucestershire in Tewkesbury Borough, located approx. 20 km north-east of Cheltenham with a population of around 300 people.

The village is split into two, the "Old Town" near the church and the "New Town" at the junction of the B4077 and B4632. New Town has a pub named the Pheasant and a mini-mart next door. St. Andrew's church, in Old Town, is quite large given the small size of the village, and contains the marble tombs of local nobility, the Tracy family, who variously lived at Sudeley Castle, Hailes Abbey and Toddington Manor.

Toddington Manor lies between New Town and Old Town, and was bought by the Turner Prize-winning artist Damien Hirst in 2005; he plans to turn the manor into a museum of his work.

Toddington railway station is located in New Town and is the northern terminus of the private heritage line, the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway.
