Additionally, medieval people believed it carried with it spirits of fairy folk that made its presence unlucky to welcome into their home.
Nowadays, hawthorn can be found being utilized in numerous applications. From jams and cakes to tarts and herbal tea, hawthorn has a multitude of uses that span far beyond traditional uses as it provides essential vitamin C as well as being loaded with antioxidants that may reduce heart disease risks as well as cancer risks.

Tennyson
Tennyson took over the rectory of Somersby after his father passed away, yet continued writing poetry despite this responsibility. His works displayed his deep interest in nature and religion while poetry made him widely-renowned; Charles Tennyson contributed early volumes and their collaboration on Poems Chiefly Lyrical (1826) is widely recognized.
Tennyson formed a powerful friendship with Trinity undergraduate Arthur Hallam, whom he considered one of the greatest minds of their time. Together they joined a small but elite group known as the Apostles whose members shared serious intellectual interests - this intense bond helped form many of Tennyson's poems.
Hallam and Tennyson traveled together to Spain in 1830 in an attempt to support a revolution against Ferdinand VII, but this mission failed miserably. Tennyson's idealistic fervor was sapped by disillusionment caused by this failure; also, grieving for Hallam brought its own sorrowful burdens.
