Pope was a QC [PRO BT31/4275/27734] and a senior freemason [Clements 2005] (his name appears on the foundation stone of the masonic hall in Barmouth). According to Glenys Thomas [2004] he built Riverside cottages in Llanbedr.
As well as the association between the legal profession and freemasonry, Pope’s masonic activities may be significant in a mining context. For a discussion on freemasonry in mining in the 19th century see Burt [2001].
Pope’s niece and adopted daughter married H J Wright in 1890 [QMJ Vol. VII pp. 388–9].
