This was the description given by T.S. Eliot to Little Gidding, a small peaceful hamlet in Huntingdonshire, where in the seventeenth century Nicholas Ferrar started a small religious community devoted to work and worship. Nothing remains of the house and farm, but the tiny church has become a place of pilgrimage. This film tries to capture something of Little Gidding's atmosphere and spirit.
