Little Gidding
Little Gidding is a parish and small village located in the Huntingdonshire district〔Note: Huntingdonshire is a historic county, but has been reclassified as a district within Cambridgeshire and administered as a "non-metropolitan district" since 1974 in accordance with Local Government Act 1972〕 of Cambridgeshire, England near Sawtry. A small parish of 724 acres (293 hectares), Little Gidding recorded a population of 22 residents in the 1991 British Census. With the neighbouring villages of Great Gidding and Steeple Gidding, the total population is 362.〔 Two miles away is Leighton Bromswold, where poet George Herbert served as a prebend and restored the Church of St. Mary. The driving distance between Little Gidding and Cambridge, to the southeast, is 30 miles.
Little Gidding was the home of an Anglican religious community established in 1626 by Nicholas Ferrar, two of his siblings and their extended families. This small community was founded around strict adherence to Christian worship in accordance the Book of Common Prayer and the High Church (or Catholic) heritage of the Church of England. Charles I visited Little Gidding three times. The community continued for 20 years after Ferrar's death, until after the deaths of his brother and sister in 1657.
In the 20th century, American-British poet T.S. Eliot (1888–1965) was inspired by the legacy of Little Gidding. He incorporated historical elements and symbols of it into his long poem, ''Little Gidding,'' as part of his collection ''Four Quartets'' (1945).
