Toddington House

Toddington House is a ruin dating from the early 17th century, originally built for the Tracey family. The structure is made of squared, coursed stone. It features a central gateway flanked by wing walls, with part of the gable from the left wing still visible. The yard wall to the right has a plinth and plain coping that extends from the corner to the gateway, connecting to the center of the right return.

The gateway includes a single-storey square room on each side of the archway. The right room has a plinth, a three-light mullion and transom window, a string course, and a crenellated parapet. The left side features a wide archway with a moulded surround, a semi-circular head, carved spandrels, and a hoodmould. The wall above this archway rises to a moulded cornice, topped with an openwork Jacobean stone pediment. The left room is similar but lacks the window tracery; it also has crenellations and a string course on the left return.

The yard wall on the left mirrors that on the right and steps back slightly at the corner of the gable front of the left wing. Behind this, on the right, is the side wall of a former semi-octagonal turret, which has an angled buttress and extends up two floors, featuring a string course. To the left, there are paired three-light mullion and transom windows with a buttress in between, a hoodmould, and the wall rises to the sill of the windows above. An angled corner buttress is present on the left side. The house was demolished after the construction of Toddington Manor.
