GEORGE HARRISON’S TWO HOLY FRIARS

Frying pan, Mexican monk, music score, film

George Harrison’s Victorian neo-Gothic mansion in Henley-on-Thames was once owned by an eccentric lawyer named Sir Frank Crisp. Reflecting his sense of humour, in the garden’s statuary is a monk holding a frying pan with holes in it, and a plaque reading “Two Holy Friars”.
