Background
History
Guestling, referred to in the Domesday Book (1086) as Gestelinges, was originally named as a settlement of the family of a man named Gyrstel. The Domesday entry records that the village consisted in 1086 of 21 households, 14 villagers and 7 cottagers. In 1542, Gregory Martin was born in Guestling and went on to do the majority of the translation for the Douay–Rheims Bible, the first full official Catholic English Bible translation. In 1896, hand made bricks were first produced in Guestling, which would go on to be used in Royal locations such as Buckingham Palace and Hampton Court.
