Lionel Hallam Tennyson, 3rd Baron Tennyson was known principally as a cricketer who played for Hampshire and England. The grandson of the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, he succeeded his father to the title in 1928, having been known before that as "The Hon Lionel Tennyson". As a schoolboy at Eton College, he had been a fast bowler, but by the time he took up regular first-class cricket with Hampshire in 1913, he bowled very rarely. During World War I he served with The Rifle Brigade in France.

  • Lionel Hallam Tennyson, 3rd Baron Tennyson was known principally as a cricketer who played for Hampshire and England. The grandson of the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, he succeeded his father to the title in 1928, having been known before that as "The Hon Lionel Tennyson". As a schoolboy at Eton College, he had been a fast bowler, but by the time he took up regular first-class cricket with Hampshire in 1913, he bowled very rarely. During World War I he served with The Rifle Brigade in France. He was Mentioned in Despatches twice and three times wounded. Tennyson played nine Test matches for England, five of them on the tour of South Africa under Johnny Douglas in 1913/14. In 1921, England having lost six Test matches in succession to the Australians under Warwick Armstrong, Tennyson was recalled to the side for the second Test at Lord's, and though the game was again lost, he scored an undefeated 74 in the second innings against Jack Gregory and Ted McDonald at their fastest. That innings led him to be appointed captain for the three remaining matches of the series, succeeding Douglas. The next game was lost; the final two matches were left drawn. At Headingley in the first of these three games as captain, Tennyson split his hand while fielding in the Australians' first innings but, patched up with what Wisden called a "basket guard", he made 63 and 36. Tennyson was captain of Hampshire from 1919 to 1932. He was in charge of the side in the remarkable match against Warwickshire in 1922, when Hampshire were bowled out for 15 runs in their first innings and, having been forced to follow on, then scored 521 in the second innings and won the match by 155 runs. In 1933 he published his autobiography "From Verse To Worse" which is reminiscent of P. G. Wodehouse. Returning from his second war-wound to the Western Front he records: "I have never liked travelling light and so, though the amount of kit I arrived with may, in fact have aroused a certain amount of astonishment, I was quickly forgiven by my commanding officer as well as by everyone else, when they found out that it included, among other things, a case of champagne. " He led several non-Test match tours overseas, to India, South Africa and the West Indies. He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1914.
