An extract from “Tennyson Land” published over 100 years ago records it as “the scene of Tennyson’s homely and touching poem “The Millers Daughter”, which so impressed Queen Victoria that she was constrained, in spite of some opposition, to confer the Laureateship on its author.

It is a captivating spot, well situated to vividly recall the scenes so sweetly portrayed.. Tennyson’s birthplace at Somersby was just two miles further upstream.
