The place was recorded as plain Guiting (in the form Getinge) in the Domesday Book of 1086, when it was held by Roger de Lacy.[2] In the middle of the 12th century Roger's son Gilbert de Lacy gave land here to the Knights Templar, who founded the Temple Guiting Preceptory.[3] The place then became known as Temple Guiting after the Knights Templar.
St Mary's Church dates back to the 12th century and was restored in 1884. It is a Grade I listed building.[4] The church is part of the Benefice of the Seven Churches which also includes Guiting Power, Cutsdean, Farmcote, Lower Slaughter with Eyford, Upper Slaughter, and Naunton.[5]
Manor Farmhouse is an early 16th-century house, also a Grade I listed building.[6]
Within the parish is Cotswolds Farm Park, privately owned by Adam Henson, a tourist attraction with 50 breeds of farm animals.
