Alfred Lord Tennyson, Poet Laureate during much of Queen Victoria's reign, remains one of the most popular poets in the English language, with well-remembered Maud, Charge of the Light Brigade, and the Lady of Shallot just to name a few of his poems. 

All across the Lincolnshire Wolds, Tennyson's inspirational haunts can be discovered - his home village of Somersby, Bag Enderby where his father was rector, his school in Louth, his growing social life at Harrington Hall, inspirational spots like Stockwith Mill where the River Lymn babbles along and Tealby where his grandfather lived.
