Been trying to find Friar park on Google maps satillite thingy and I
think I've found it. Gonna try and find tittenhurst now!

If you type in Matson Drive Henley on thames I think it's the big
house just north of it. I only think, but it looks like a bloody big
posh house to me!

actually. There is a maze there too.

I found my allotment the other day!

Now where else should I try?

The following URL is definitely right and the page it sends you to has a few options....

<http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Friar_Park&params=51.540149_N_-0.914885_E_type:landmark_region:GB&title=Friar+Park>

ANd here's a UK Govt map with it on... :-)

I typed in "Friar Park, Henley-on-Thames" and I was given a location
on the other side of Henley which looks right enough to me.

You are correct. The posh house I thought it was, pales into
insignificance when compared to the one on the other side of the
river. WTF did GH put in all those rooms?

Are there many photos of the inside of Friar Park when George lived
there?

You're so right. WTF I was thinking... probably wasn't thinking at all.
