It was considered a small town with 40 households (which at the time of the survey was a large settlement). Lestan, a freeman, was deprived of it on the Norman conquest. In the 13th century the family of Peche had an interest in this town, and Sir Andrew de Helion, of Bumpstead, in Essex, certified the venerable barons of the Exchequer, on the marriage of the King's sister, to the Emperour Germany, about 1234, that Symon Peche held 3 parts of a fee of him in Gukenton Norfolk.Guton was granted a charter from the Crown licensing the holding of a market in 1287, though by the 17th century the market was out of use.The site of the settlement is marked by Guton Hall in the modern civil parish of Brandiston.

Nine miles from Norwich. Church St. Nicholas. Was held by the families of Fastolf and Paston."
