Macauley

THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY (1800 - 1859)

Lord Macaulay was the uncle of George Otto Trevelyan (q.v.) of Wallington Hall, and the desk at which he wrote most of his famous History of England is in the study there. His much-anthologised 'A Jacobite's Epitaph' shows a fond familiarity with Teesdale:

For him I languished in a foreign clime,
Grey-haired with sorrow in my manhood's prime;
Heard on Lavinia Scargill's whispering trees,
And pined by Arno for my lovelier Tees.
