Kinfauns (Surrey) - Purchase By Harrison

Purchase By Harrison

Harrison bought Kinfauns for £20,000 on 17 July 1964, on the advice of Dr. Walter Strach, the Beatles' accountant. Going house-shopping, he said later, "It was the first one I saw, and I thought, that'll do." He was joined there months later by wife-to-be Pattie Boyd. Harrison and Boyd were married on 21 January 1966, and lived in the house until 1970, when Harrison purchased Friar Park.

    How happy a thing were a wedding,
    And a bedding,
    If a man might purchase a wife
    For a twelvemonth and a day;
    Thomas Flatman (1637–1688)

    The work of the miner has its unavoidable incidents of discomfort and danger, and these should not be increased by the neglect of the owners to provide every practicable safety appliance. Economies which involve a sacrifice of human life are intolerable.
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
