Brief description of site

Toddington Manor is a late-18th-century landscape park of around 100 hectares around formal gardens of 5 hectares and an early-19th-century mansion.

Brief history of site

Toddington Manor was the home of the Tracy family from the 10th to the early 20th century. The first manor house was built by John, first Viscount Tracy, in the 1620s. In 1820, after the Jacobean house had been damaged by fire and dry rot, Charles Hanbury-Tracy designed and built the present Toddington Manor. He also laid out pleasure grounds and gardens on an extensive scale and improved the deer park to the south of the Manor. In the late-19th century, agricultural depression led to the double bankruptcy of the fourth Lord Sudeley. In 1900 the Manor was sold to Hugh Andrews, who improved the estate and re-erected the lodges.
