Today is the day the church recognizes Nicholas Ferrar, Deacon (1637). My understanding is that Nicholas Ferrar felt a calling to return to England and found something of an abandoned village. He lived there with his family. I have read that there was always someone in his family at prayer.
And yes, this is the same Little Gidding that is the subject of No. 4 of the
Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot.
