Somersby

Somersby, a pretty village of Lincolnshire, stands on the Wolds, about 7 miles E. by N. of Horncastle and the same distance NW. of Spilsby, and is celebrated as the birthplace of Tennyson. The rectory, in which he was born, is an ordinary country parsonage, not without touches of picturesqueness. Pop. 43. Illustrations will be found in J. C. Walters, In Tennyson Land (1890).
