DescriptionTennysonArms.png
English: Arms of Tennyson: Gules, a bend nebuly or thereon a chaplet vert between three leopard's faces jessant-de-lys of the second.
The Tennyson arms are a "colourful imitation" of the arms borne by an older family of Tenison (see arms of w: Thomas Tenison (1636-1715), Archbishop of Canterbury), which were pirated by the latter from the family of Denys of (Syston & Dyrham) Gloucestershire, Knights tempore Henry VIII , apparently on the assumption that "Tenison" was a corruption of "Denys's son"

The arms of Denys of Gloucestershire (previously of Waterton, Glamorgan) were a difference of Cantilupe of Candleston Castle, Glamorgan, which family originated the jessant-de-lys heraldic charge (arms adopted by Saint w:Thomas de Cantilupe (d.1282), Bishop of Hereford)
