For the record (which is something people say in cases like this), I took the photo of George and Klaus painting the house, at 1.52. I never dreamed that something I did in 1967 would live on for decades via this thing called the internet!

(02:34) "Unfortunately, the owner did not want to sell the estate to a pop star". As a child in the 1970'sI lived in a small village in Surrey, next door lived an old lady in a classic 'chocolate box' thatched cottage with stunning rose gardens. It became too much for her so she placed it on the market. One Sunday afternoon my dad answered the door to a chap with a beard asking for keys, he and his two brothers were looking for a place in the country, I think their name was Gibb, the elderly lady refused to sell to 'hippy pop stars' fearing for her beautiful gardens. A few weeks later a charming businessman in a nice suit turned up and offered to buy, "what a charming man" she told my dad. Six months later the bulldozers moved in and flattened the whole building and gardens. The owner was an ambitious property developer who turned it into a small housing estate. There's a lesson to be learned there I think?

George was the most interesting one from the Beatles, such a inspiring humble gentlemen

Wow, those shops in town were amazing looking in the mid 60s. I wish I could go back there for a couple of days and eat in an old fish & chips shops, and go in those great old stores (with a few hundred pounds of mid 60s money). The vibe was amazing

Just Incredible ❤️ RIP Lovely George

Think it was the grounds that attracted George Harrison. He loved gardening - being close to nature.

George forever,he as inspired my life,the good musicien ans thé good philosophie, George John Ringo Paul, thank you for inspiration from m'y life

George Was Beautiful Inside& Out ☮️💟💕☮️💟💕✝️✝️💕

Brillant . Loved the voice of the presenter done so well.

George Harrison was a great man, and I think only happy thoughts when his name is mentioned.

John and George were always my favourites - yet it was Paul I ended up meeting at his house 🏡 on Cavendish Road St John’s Wood, London. He was soo lovely and so good at putting you at ease. I’ll never forget shaking his hand - a beautiful hand to shake. As I was doing this I could feel my legs shaking in my Chelsea boots 🥾 I mean c’mon ? He’s Paul McCartney after all ! How could you not be very nervous. Linda was really lovely too. Definitely an amazing moment in my life - and there have been many. Cheers 🥂

I remember when they moved in, i lived not far away and would often have to retrieve my dog from their grounds after he escaped. Mostly one of the gardeners would catch the dog and hand him back, but one day it was George who caught him and gave him to me, along with a bag of dogshit which bizarrely, he had signed. I still have it to this day.

I've always been fascinated with this house I would love to see it for my self but this is the second best thing IV seen so many videos of it but they never show the inside of the house

The problem with house that size: "Honey, have you seen my car keys?"

Very nicely presented this, Scott. I like the narrator's voice too.

That was fabulous Scott Cardinal! Thank you!

Wonderfully written, Scott. It's a great listen.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video a friar Park thank you so much Scott Happy Spring 2021 and summer to all!

I read both Patti Boyd and Chris Odell's autobiographies about this time. How on earth did that maniac break into a heavily secure Friar Park and nearly kill George Harrison. He was already ill and I reckon it hastened his death. Vale George Harrison you were a prophet.

And to think that this beautiful house was on the verge being demolished when George purchased it.

I miss George

Absolutely loved this. Thank you.

Too much house for me, even if I win the lottery! Very enjoyable video!

Just loved them together,

Very interesting indeed..would love to know more about some of these historic estates and some of the talented people who we have admired that lived in them.‼keep me posted.👍God Bless..💞

That was just great.

Beautiful! Can't wait to see the next one!

Beautifully done, and much appreciated. While I come at this more from the Beatle-fan angle, I've always been fascinated by George and Friar Park. It seemed from the time he bought it, nothing else was more important.

Unbelievable place. Even the gate house is miles better than anything I could own.

I once heard someone say that the truth about the Beatles died with George Harrison. Paul could rewrite history and Ringo is just along for the ride. George was the last to tell it like it was.

Thank you so much! I have seen the gate house, but this series is fantastic!

That was terrific! Would love to see more.

Nice to be Rich - I’m glad George and Patti were around

I wished i could get back to that time.

George and Patti were the fairy tale couple. So sad they ended up divorced and in strange circumstances.

This is most interesting, and quite well done I find. Many thanks for a heightened Sunday breakfast.

Oh my God what a bargain. Just about get a small flat in central London for that now !

120 rooms. Crazy.

Loved it! Thank you, Scott Cardinal!

So well done Scott!

Great work. Cannot wait for the next one!

Love you George

Truly enjoyed this 👌 thank you

Excellent story telling. It would be a dream come true to have a tour of FP. Blessing to you for a wonderful job!

Love the music being played and the old video shots of the town down area. The history is great on friar park , I didn’t know how much hands on George and Patti did. They were a great couple, seems two very down to earth people.

For the record (which is something people say in cases like this) the photograph of George's brother Harry outside the gate lodge (06:27) includes a 17 year old me putting my crash helmet on. My motorcycle is the one on the right, a 1964 Royal Enfield, the one on the left was my best mate Paul's (Harry's son).I believe Paul's bike was a Triumph 500 if my memory doesn't fail me. I'll ask him when I see him as we're still mates today over 40 years later. The green car you can see behind Harry was his customised 2 door Range Rover, it had wolfrace wheels fitted and a beautiful leather trimmed interior among other things. Happy days!

Very professional Thanks

I take my Hat off to you good sir! This is what a George Harrison fan wants This what I wanted from the Martin Scorsese Doco instead,we got retold the Beatles history,the Hundredth time... But this series is Perfecto

England has some beautiful history!

Very nice!

I visited often with brother Harry, George had 4 Porsche's from us all in his trademark black + a Ferrari 246 Dino Spyder in yellow. What is not mentioned here is that Friar Park has underground lakes so you can row out to nearby river Thames...

Very nice!!

I‘d love to have those gardens, woods and waters. But I wouldn‘t want that palace $$$

that was EXCELLENT! .... subscribed! .... keep it comin'!

A beautiful couple at a beautiful time. Rog.pacific sunset records.

Look at the lovely footage. When Britain was British 🇬🇧

Very nice

Nice 😊

I have a 1-bedroom spec. I noticed a little mold in the bathroom yesterday. I haven't used the kitchen in over 25 years. Unplugged the fridge back then. It's a little over 600 feet and value about 340k. I bought it for 75k. it's a mind bender why more are not homeless.

Damn, pattie was a babe!

great

I met GH way back in 96 or 97 in LA. It was weird seeing someone you’ve listened to since first grade in person. I hate approaching celebs, but when are you going to get a chance to meet a Beatle? Surprisingly, I got to meet another member thanks to an ongoing Jungian psychology lecture series that took place in West LA

Wonder if Friar Park inspired 'the ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp' from All Things Must Pass. The album was mainly recorded there.

George was always true to himself...

He's widow olivia lives there she is the owner now

excellent

Interesting and very well researched, well done, keep it up, how about one on Ringo?

Brilliant

The satellite view on Google Maps of the property is awesome.

I always wonder how costly is to heat the castle during winter time.

I would love to have an unlimited amount of $$$$ to spend on an estate, especially the garden

Hi Scott Gerard here. Finally got my youtube channel up. Great work with this. Happy memories of recording. Let's chat soon!

Great story...... sad when it ended. How did George cope after he let her go.....especially with one of his best friends. Maybe no-one knows?

4:19 Maureen with her ever present smile. Eric stewing inside.....

Strange History X: thanks for posting. Was the estate George lived in before Friar Park(Kinfauns) used in the movie "Children Of Man"? Looks familiar. Cheers!🥨

Patty led a great life! I don’t know anyone else who could say that... even though there probably is?

It's crucial to clarify that Pattie left George due to his repeated infidelities over the years. His indiscretions were undeniable, including an affair with Ringo's wife, Maureen, which he openly admitted to Ringo in front of Pattie. While George is undoubtedly a wonderful and talented individual, it's important to acknowledge the reason why Pattie left him. (still by fav Beatle, btw

Very interesting story I can only imagine that in those days as it is now it’s a men’s world in general I don’t know what kind of arrangement George and paty had in their marriage , but that was his house I’m assuming that in the divorce she had a fair deal after she left , putting so much time and energy to make a home, painting, decorating etc anyway she left with Eric and the rest is just history,.

04:17 Eric Clapton in the background looking lovesick.

There's a light (over at the Harrison place)...

I used to work with Diane Freer. She was one of the girls who lived there with them.

You just get into the story and then it just suddenly ends like a car crashing into a tree.

£400k is absolutely f**k all for a house like that in Surrey these days. Esher is a wealthy town and In reality Kinfauns is probably now worth north of £1m. And George's £140k offer was likely due to a bidding war with another prospective buyer, might even have been "gazumping" as it's now called.

at 10:34 I already see Clapton eye balling her

Elvis Graceland's is tiny compared to this but he kind of set the trend for rock stars to own a palatial home with lots of land , a kind of statement this is my refuge from the masses ..

Castles made of sand fall in the sea eventually

Why doesn't the moderator mention that that is Jack Bruce jamming with Clapton at 9:00?

Friar park is worth £40 mi now

Did George and Patti eat Savoy Truffles at Friar Park?

i always called Frier Park the “Graceland of England”.

So his brothers name was Harry Harrison ? ... i dunno why thats interesting to me . .. in the early 90s there was a character on Neighbours called robert Robinson.

And now that Olivia lives there she probably kicked everybody out! 🤷🏼‍♀️

By all accounts George Harrison had a heart of gold? Not sure about that one.

I’m very happy with my 2100 sf of heaven on the beach in California. 😎

Tell this story is a good idea

2.4 million in 2020 is absolutely nothing for that enormous castle. Houses the sizes of a garage are going for nearly as much where I am...ridiculous

What is FP valued at today? The upkeep must be eye watering and must eat up the profits from GH's inheritance.

I know George and Pattie were sort of destined to part (he honestly lost interest imo), but it's still sad that Pattie did SO much work on that estate only to have to abandon it.

Do Dhani and his mum still live there?

He was told to invest in property to assuage the taxman (there's a song there George) & he did & bought this humongous pile at £140,000 I think & acres of land. A bargain even that far back, tho it needed work. He done it via a proxy so no one would know to keep price down.
