History
The name derives from Gedel or Gydel, an Old English personal name, and tun, meaning farm or settlement. A variation in spelling may be seen as "Gedeleston", in a legal record in 1424. [3]
The Parish Church of St Mary dates from the 13th century, and is Grade I listed. The churchyard includes a listed memorial to the Johnston family, and there is a 17th century tomb of the Gore family of Netherhall and an 18th century tomb of the Turvin family of Terlings Park in the church chancel. The Gore family included a Lord Mayor of London and the Gore and Turvin families both included a High Sheriff of Hertfordshire.[4]
The Plume of Feathers Inn dates from the 18th century.[5]
Gilston Park is a 19th century country house, which is Grade II* listed. It was designed by Philip Charles Hardwick in 1852 and extended by Arthur Blomfield in 1887, with later work by Blomfield's son, A C Blomfield.[6] It was later home to the Salvin Bowlby family, who founded the Gilston and Eastwick Working Men's Club, now the village hall, in 1908.[4]
