Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Poet Laureate, was born and brought up in Somersby, the son of the rector, and the fourth of twelve children. When he wrote ''The Babbling Brook'' he was referring to a small stream here. Other features of the local landscape are claimed as features mentioned in Tennyson's poetry,〔The King's England: Lincolnshire (Hodder & Stoughton Ltd., 1949, 1952) under the entry for Somersby.〕 such as "Woods that belt the grey hillside" and "The silent woody places by the home that gave me birth". In 1949 the copper beech was reported to be still standing at the former rectory which was mentioned in ''In Memoriam'':
"Unwatched, the garden bough shall sway,/The tender blossom flutter down,/Unloved, that beech will gather brown,/This maple burn itself away." The same poem also mentions leaving "the well-beloved place / Where first we gazed upon the sky".〔All these quoted in the article mentioned.〕 In such poems as ''The Lady of Shalott''〔Tennyson, Poems Published in 1842, Oxford University Press, 1956〕 Tennyson uses the word "wold" for a hill in a sense found in Lincolnshire.〔Eilert Ekwall, The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-Names.〕
