MenuPope's Tower, Oxfordshire
Pope's Tower is a 15th-century former chapel in the grounds of Harcourt House, Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire. It was built around 1470-71, probably by William Orchard for Sir Robert Harcourt. It was formerly attached to the parlour end of the mediæval manor house, demolished around 1750. The tower derives its name from Alexander Pope who stayed here in 1717-18, when he used the upper room in the tower to translate the fifth volume of Homer's "lliad". It is within the council area of West Oxfordshire (Oxfordshire).
