[1] Within the parish of Stanton Harcourt is a series of palaeochannel deposits buried beneath the second (Summertown-Radley) gravel terrace of the River Thames.

The deposits have been attributed to Marine isotope stages and have been the subject of archaeological and palaeontological research.

[10] Pope's Tower in the grounds of Harcourt House was built about 1470–71, probably by the master mason William Orchard.

[12] The tower acquired its name centuries later, after the poet Alexander Pope stayed here in 1717–18 and used its upper room to translate the fifth volume of Homer's Iliad.

The poem is carved on a stone monument on the outside of the south wall of the nave or St Michael's parish church.

Michael Darbie, an itinerant bellfounder, cast the second, third, fourth and fifth bells in 1656, which was during the Commonwealth of England.

[17] In the chancel is the Decorated Gothic late 13th- or early 14th-century shrine of St Edburg of Bicester.

Sir James Harcourt had the shrine salvaged and moved to St Michael's.

It includes the medieval tombs of Sir Thomas Harcourt and his wife, Lady Maud, daughter of Lord Grey of Rotherfield.
