View of ancient and remote small Little Gidding rural church called The Church of Saint John the Evangelist, erected in 1714 to replace an earlier church at the site, Little Gidding, Huntingdon, England, UK
Little Gidding Church is difficult to find, but unforgettable when found. It is a secluded place in remote Huntingdonshire countryside which has borne witness to turbulent times over a thousand years with serenity, simplicity and peace. Nicholas Ferrar and his family formed the first Anglican community here in 1625 after the religious changes of the English Reformation. King Charles I visited in 1642, and sought refuge in 1646. The poet Eliot visited in 1936, and was moved to reflect upon the Church and its history in the last of his Four Quartets: Little Gidding.
