[2] Guiting Power stands on the slopes of a small valley formed by a tributary of the River Windrush, mid-way between Cheltenham and Stow-on-the-Wold, and lies to the north of the parish church, which is located at Ordnance Survey grid reference SP 096246.

The village was at the heart of a manor owned by King Edward the Confessor, but it had declined by the time of the Domesday Book of 1086.

[7] In the 1930s, twelve cottages were bought by Moya Davidson for renovation, but by the 1950s the village was run down, thanks to a post-war depression in the farming industry, which then provided most local employment.

The leader of the American Nazi Party, George Lincoln Rockwell, amongst others were illegally smuggled into the country to attend the event.

In the 1970s, he formed the Guiting Manor Amenity Trust, a charitable body, to own his estate after his death.

[16] 29 year old Fl Off Jonathan Tye, of Lea in rural Derbyshire, was at RAF Scampton.

Nearby are the excavated foundations of the original Anglo-Saxon church and a large kerbed round barrow shown as a tumulus on Ordnance Survey maps.

[19] To a large extent, the village owes its preservation to the Guiting Manor Amenity Trust.

When the building was closed, it was bought by the Trust and converted into a village playschool nursery for the residents' children.

[21][22] The parish church of St Michael and All Angels stands at the south end of the village.

[26] It typically comprises eight evening concerts, covering the genres of classical music, folk, and jazz.
