The village's name derives from the old english phrase meaning Gydda's People.[2] In 1086 it is recorded in the Domesday Book as Geldinga with 18 households made up of 15 freemen and 3 smallholders along with 5 acres of meadow. The land was held by Bury Abbey and William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey.[3]
