Friar Park, Henley-On-Thames
September 4, 2023 1:15 PM   Subscribe

Let's say you want to build yourself a fantasy home. What would it contain? A hedge maze? Formal gardens? A lake, surrounded by trees, upon which to row? Maybe greenhouses? Perhaps an alpine garden with a forced-perspective Matterhorn? How about secret caves? How about all this AND MORE? Friar Park: A Magical Journey Through George Harrison's Estate [1h5m] is a leisurely look at Sir Frank Crisp's [Wikipedia] wonderland [Wikipedia] which Harrison eventually purchased in 1970.

A more George-centered look is featured across several shorter videos, apparently from the same source:

Friar Park Stories. Part 01 (George Harrison, Pattie Boyd & Eric Clapton) [10m34s]
Friar Park Stories. Part 02 (George Harrison, Crackerbox Palace, and more!) [8m]
Friar Park Stories. Part 03 (Sir Percival & Lady David, Salesian Sisters , and more) [5m]

"No matter where you roam, know our love is true." - music video directed by Eric Idle, with many of the usual suspects in front of the camera.
