Guston is a village and civil parish in the Dover district of Kent, in South East England.

[2] The village lies about a quarter of a mile north of the campus of the Duke of York's Royal Military School, near Martin Mill.

In the 1950s the village was the site of a public house, a post office, a Saxon church and approximately one-hundred homes.

The River Dour is approximately 2.71 km away from Guston, and there is easy access to main roads, with the A2 and A258 running around and through the village.

[4] "The Manor of Guston formerly belonged to the abbot and convent of St. Augustine, who held it as a prebend in the church of St. Martin, in Dover.

[7] Many of these shells would have affected people in nearby areas including Guston, Whitfield, East Langdon, Pineham and Buckland.

[8] This emphasises the huge number of men that left the area to fight and did not return after the war, as well as the devastating effects the bombing had on the housing at the time.

This is one reason why the population may have dropped so significantly; the housing was now not substantial enough to support such a large number of people.

"[9] John E. Vigar has written of St Martin of Tours:"Restored in the Victorian Era and there is little of the church left from earlier periods.

The arrangement of three Norman windows in the east wall is a common architectural feature, and can be found elsewhere in the county, such as in Bonnington.

In addition to this 6.29% of people are in poor or very bad health;[13] however, this would be expected due to the relatively high elderly and young population in the area.

From 2015 to 2016, Guston Primary School had an intake of 140 students which consisted on 47.9% females and 52.1% males, similar to the national average.
