Page "Friar Park" Paragraph 7

Harrison immortalised the grand building and its surrounds in his 1976 song " Crackerbox Palace ", which was his nickname for the mansion ( after Lord Buckley's home in California ).

The All Things Must Pass track " Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp ( Let It Roll )" was inspired by Friar Park's history, and the lyrics of later songs such as " Ding Dong, Ding Dong " and " The Answer's at the End " directly quote from the many carvings around the property.

His humorous video clips for the likes of " Ding Dong, Ding Dong ", " True Love " and " Crackerbox Palace " were all shot within the gardens and grounds of Friar Park, as were the album covers for some of his FPSHOT-recorded Dark Horse acts − Splinter's The Place I Love and the Ravi Shankar's Music Festival from India album being the most obvious.
