The settlement can be traced back over 1,000 years.
Gunthwaite is home to Gunthwaite Hall and its 16th century Grade I listed close-studded cruck barn which is still in agricultural use and has been described as "one of the glories of the parish." Also to be found nearby is Gunthwaite Spa, a sulphur-rich spring whose waters emerge from a pipe set in a stone recess by the side of Carr Lane. Here, the old practice of celebrating Spaw Sunday still survives to this day.
