Friar Park
Friar Park is a 120-room Victorian neo-Gothic mansion in Henley-on-Thames once owned by eccentric lawyer Sir Frank Crisp and purchased in January 1970 by musician George Harrison.〔Alan Clayson, ''George Harrison'', Sanctuary (London, 2003), p. 299.〕
==Overview==
Since the early 1970s, the property has become synonymous with the former Beatle's home studio, known as FPSHOT. Harrison biographer Alan Clayson has described the Friar Park estate as being "as synonymous with his name as the Queen's with Windsor Castle".〔Alan Clayson, ''George Harrison'', Sanctuary (London, 2003), p. 300.〕
Harrison put the whole property up as collateral in order to fund the Monty Python comedy team's movie ''Life of Brian'' after their original backers, EMI, pulled out at the last minute.〔Simon Leng, ''While My Guitar Gently Weeps: The Music of George Harrison'', Hal Leonard (Milwaukee, WI, 2006), p. 226.〕〔Alan Clayson, ''George Harrison'', Sanctuary (London, 2003), p. 371.〕 As a huge fan of the Pythons, Harrison simply wanted to get to see the film − something that his friend Eric Idle has often described as "the most expensive cinema ticket in movie history".
