Jane Pope

[1] (There has been confusion over her date of birth with different authorities giving 1742 and 1744, but in a letter from Jane Pope of 1808 she states her age as 64.)

Pope had three brothers and she spent her life living with her sister who was named after their mother.

She left his company but returned when he offered to reemploy her and Pope agreed to eight pounds.

[2] There is a painting of Jane Pope by James Roberts in the role of Mrs Page in the Merry Wives of Windsor.

[3] Pope was a lifelong friend of Mrs Clive, and erected the monument at Twickenham to the latter's memory.
