This isn't exactly what you are looking for but it might be useful.

    Early in 1936, on one of the poet's visits to the Society of the
    Sacred Mission at Kelham Hall in Nottinghamshire, he was asked to read
    and criticise the manuscript of a verse play written by one of the
    members of this Anglican religious community, Brother George
    Every. The play, entitled Stalemate-the King at Little Gidding dealt
    with the visit of King Charles 1st in May 1646. Eliot was interested
    in the idea of Christian Community as the ideal of the Christian life,
    and had read about the Ferrars in earlier years: possibly 'John
    Inglesant', possibly Peckard's Life: both volumes were in his library.


By the way, the Little Gidding Church is a wonderful little site.
