This path is named after Alfred Lord TENNYSON (1809 to 1892). He was already a prominent poet during his lifetime, in the middle of the 19th century. In 1850, he received two awards for his literary work: Queen Victoria ennobled him as 1st Baron Tennyson and gave him the role and title of "Poet Laureate". He held this honorable office - the tradition of which even then stretched back many centuries and still exists today - until his death.
