SP0333 : St. Andrew's church, Toddington
near to Toddington, Gloucestershire, Great Britain

St. Andrew's church, Toddington
St. Andrew's is the 3rd church to stand on this site in Toddington since the Middle Ages. The present church was built by George E Street, who had been commissioned by the 3rd Lord Sudeley. Work started in 1869 and cost the considerable sum of £44,000. Housed in the North Transept lie the 1st Lord Sudeley (Charles Hanbury-Tracy) and Lady Sudeley on a Gothic "Altar Tomb" sculpted by John Graham Lough.
The extraordinary expense of St Andrews and the agricultural depression unfortunately led to the financial decline of the Hanbury-Tracys. The family finally departing from Toddington in the latter years of the 19th century.

It is still an impressive building especially in the soft autumnal afternoon sun.
