A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Todenham from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"TODDENHAM, a parish, with a village, in the [registration] district of Shipston-on-Stour and county of Gloucester; 3¼ miles NE of Moreton [railway] station. Post town, Moreton-in-the-Marsh. Acres: 2,477. Real property: £3,616. Population: 408. Houses: 90. The manor, with [Todenham] House, belongs to Sir P. Pole, Bart. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. Value: £470.* Patron: the Bishop of [Gloucester and Bristol]. The church is good, and has a tower and spire."

Todenham was in Campden Rural District from 1894 until 1935 when the rural district was broken up and the majority of it (including Todenham) was transferred to the newly-formed and larger North Cotswold Rural District. It is now part of the administrative district of Cotswold formed in 1974.
