Toddington

Toddington is a parish in Central Bedfordshire located on elevated terrain that reaches approximately 154 meters above sea level. Glacial deposits of sand and gravel shape the local landscape and soil composition throughout the area.

Local governance dates back several centuries and was established through the parish council system managing community matters. This form of self-government evolved over time to become the foundation of how the area is administered today.

The village is home to four churches of different faiths, including St George's Church, Methodist, Baptist, and Christian Fellowship congregations, serving various religious communities. This religious diversity shapes daily community life and reflects a long tradition of different faiths coexisting together.

The Parish Office is based at the Village Hall on Leighton Road and is run by eight elected councillors who provide local services and information. Visitors can reach them with practical questions about the area and its facilities.

The Toddington Brass Band was founded in 1856 and remains one of the oldest musical institutions in the region, performing concerts to this day. This ensemble plays a significant role in preserving a musical tradition that has lasted over 160 years.
