Pope's Grotto Church Marble Hill House

About

Pope's Grotto Preservation Trust and English Heritage are pleased to announce joint tours of Alexander Pope's grotto and Marble Hill House with its grotto.

Visitors will meet at Radnor House School in Cross Deep, Twickenham, for a tour of Pope's subterranean 18th century folly. Following this, you will be able to visit St Mary's Church in Twickenham to view Pope's final resting place and memorials to his parents.

Visitors can then have lunch in the many bars and restaurants in picturesque Church Street or at Marble Hill's Coach House Café (please note lunch is not included in the ticket price). In the afternoon, you will enjoy a guided tour of Henrietta Howard's neo-Palladian Villa and end the experience with a visit to the recently restored garden grotto
