"Guru Granth Sahib" is the honourable title given to the "Adi Granth" which is the sacred text (book) of the Sikh religion. The Adi Granth (meaning the first scripture) was given the title "Guru Granth Sahib" by the tenth Sikh guru Guru Gobind Singh when he declared the book to be his successor and to be the permanent guru of the Sikhs. "Guru" means teacher. "Granth" means book. "Sahib" honourable.
There are lots of Guru Granth Sahib even in England

The Guru Granth Sahib is a living Guru and must be treated with respect. The Guru Granth Sahib is carried over ones head as a sign of respect. A Guru Granth Sahib usually has a bedroom or resting area in any Gurdwara. If a Guru Granth Sahib is kept at home it must be placed in the highest room in a house. It would be totally unacceptable to find a Guru Granth Sahib in a library for example. Hope this helps
