Little Gidding history

Early history

Gidding means “settlement of the family or followers of a man called Gydda” Little Gidding is notable as the home of a lay religious community established by the Ferrar family in 1626.

Nicholas Ferrar’s community

In 1620, Esmé Stewart, Earl of March sold the manor of Little Gidding to Thomas Sheppard. Sheppard then sold the property to Nicholas Ferrar and his cousin Arthur Wodenoth in 1625. The Ferrar family lived a spiritual life of prayer, eschewing the world. The community was also criticised by Puritans, denounced as a “Protestant Nunnery”

Later Anglican life at Little Gidding

Little Gidding featured prominently in the 1881 historical novel John Inglesant by Joseph Henry Shorthouse. With the Oxford Movement and revival of Anglican religious orders, the estate was “much idealized by nineteenth-century Anglo-Catholics” The Friends of Little Gidid was founded in 1946 by Alan Maycock, with support from T. S. Eliot.
