Friar Park

English Victorian neo-Gothic mansion, former home of George Harrison

About

Friar Park is a Victorian neo-Gothic mansion in Henley-on-Thames, England. Construction began in 1889 and was completed in 1895. It was built for lawyer Sir Frank Crisp, and purchased in January 1970 by English musician and Beatle George Harrison. The site covers about 30 acres (12 ha), and features caves, grottoes, underground passages, a multitude of garden gnomes, and an Alpine rock garden with a scale model of the Matterhorn.
