Tomb of Reverend George Clayton Tennyson, father of Alfred, Lord Tennyson and rector here at St Margaret's Church, Somersby, Lincs. UK
Our claim to fame is the fact that Alfred Lord Tennyson was born- and spent the first 28 years of his life here in Somersby. His father George Clayton Tennyson was rector of St. Margaret’s, Somersby and of its namesake in the neighbouring village of Bag Enderby for 23 years until his death. His tomb is in the graveyard to the west of the porch. Catherina Tennyson mysteriously has a stone here too, next to George. She was the second wife of Horatio, Alfred’s youngest sibling.
