Todber is a village in Dorset, in the Blackmore Vale, about five miles south-west of Shaftesbury.
The 2011 census noted that the parish had 55 households and a population of 140.
The parish church, St Andrew's, was rebuilt in the Early English and Perpendicular Gothic styles in 1879, though the tower is of earlier construction.[1]
In 1086 Todber was recorded in the Domesday Book as Todeberie.[2] The lord was Geoffrey Mallory and the tenant-in-chief was William of Mohun. It had one mill, 12 acres of meadow and 2 ploughlands.[3]
