Description: 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.
