All respect to Richard Harris for having this treasure of a house restored 👍
Page's house is a work of art much like his guitar playing !
Jimmy is an artist as well as a musician. He had an art education and has an eye for color. ( i met him and conversed with him more than once in the Led Zep days.).Beautiful colorful home, says a lot about him.
Luck you!😊
Thank god Robbie Williams didn't buy it 😞 !
Ah! So you know that story. I think I might get into that in another show. That dude is a real selfish jerk-off. No respect for his neighbors or history. Thanks for checking out the show. I appreciate it.
@@StrangeHistoryXPlease do.
Robbie who? Oh...Jimmy Page's untalented a.hole neighbor !
Robbie Williams would not appreciate the value and would most likely strip the walls and re decorate it as a retro discotech the slimy smarmy unctious prick he is😢
@@StrangeHistoryX not to mention Williams is a completely talentless. Take That were a manufactured 90s corporate product like One Direction.
It’s an absolutely beautiful home and a magnificent piece of architecture and artistic work. I’m very happy to see that Sir James has restored it authentically and shows it every bit of the respect that it’s due. You can even see in the photography that the paneled walls are well fed with wood polish and the floors are very well cared for too. I’m happy that he enjoys the house so much because he’s my favorite musician.
Him and Paul.
I don’t think he restored it, but he maintains the beauty of it. I thought it was stated who Jimmy bought it from, had restored it.
Thank you for this video, I've been an admirer of Tower House for many years. Bless Jimmy for preserving this incredible masterpiece; I hope that he continues to enjoy his home for many years to come.
Huge fan of Jimmy, I was in London about 5 years ago and stood outside the Tower House like a weirdo (although a respectful, quiet one) . Beautiful home.. I hoped to see Jimmy but he was off doing genius artist things. Wanted to see Robbie so I could yell at him on Jimmy's behalf, but alas it was not to be. Great episode. Thanks.
So happy he is preserving it snd being a excellent caretaker. ❤
Oh how I wish that Sir James was still regularly writing music as everything that sprang from his hands were pure masterpieces and as much as I treasure his years with the Yardbirds and his magnificent twelve years with Led Zeppelin, I wished for a lifetime of his compositions. I love his work. It’s some of the most emotional and simultaneously complex and compelling music I’ve ever heard and it is part of my regular musical diet.
I wish he would interpret more classical pieces.
Sir James! Oh my! 🤣
Jimmy Page has not been knighted.
Fascinating house. I currently have a rescue dog from Korea and a cat from an animal shelter. Completely with you on animal's rights to live their lives. Thank you.
Very cool video. Very interesting the places that Jimmy Page lived. At 9:58 it looks like he's working on the artwork for an album cover. Very cool!
That must be the biggest understatement ever from an early 70s rock star, "I was heady from the experience". That place must be bugger to clean!
People with money don't do it themselves.
A great musician must have a forever home.Praise him for what he has done for music. Greetings. L.G
Didn't think any place was as special as Friar House. The inside of Jimmy's has out done it, but nothing compete with Friar's gardens. Hats off to both owners...
Yep, both places really are amazing.
I visited Tower House once. Just walked by it. Such an impressive structure. I'm not too surprised Jimmy has given it the respect it is due.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! My kind of place!! Thank you for this video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, I know about the "electric outlets". But please keep leaving comments anyway.

That house is magnificent. And so is Jimmy Page. 😍
I've never seen these images before. The Tower House is absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing it.
You've earned a new subscriber!
Absolutely stunning❤❤❤❤
It really is a work of art.
Great video, thank you Mr. Cardinal. Hi Trudy 😂
I enjoyed this very much. I have two sister kitties I adopted 7 years ago, I want them to outlive me I love them so much.
For how anti establishment and tradition these rock stars were they sure love old world homes. I guess I’m a just a but jealous that I don’t have one lol
There was a big trend in the late 1960s and early 1970s with all these (once poor) pop stars buying great old English country homes, mostly because they were the only ones who could even afford them at the time. I'll be discussing more soon. So please stay tuned. Thanks!
@@StrangeHistoryX In addition to the status of them, the homes are out in the country-side, away from most people, giving them some privacy.
They must have good security or big dogs. @@treetopjones737
Very nice video sir.
I live a twenty minute walk away, I might have to take a detour to the park to have a look. My sister worked with Jimmy's ex wife, he's a nice guy.
I’ve heard that about both Jimmy & Robert, that they will talk to fans, maybe not for long though. So many others can be nasty, but I’ve heard only praise for them.
Many thanks for the video, and to those who have restored and continue to preserve this home. I work for the US NPS and have the good luck to spend a lot of time in historic structures. So many naturally lend themselves to making music, acoustic and electric. Totally understand the vibration issue.
Especially the way Jimmy can play.
Beautiful !💖
Great video... thank you ❤
11:40 I’d assume that photog Ross Halfin probably did some of the photography in question-he and Jimmy are good friends and do some work together.
i love it!
What an exquisite home! Hopefully, I can find the video of Channel 4's tour.
well, old homes much older got wired and the wires are inside metal tubing, discreetly along the wall moldings. there are lights shining up on t he tops of the walls, onto the paintings. So that 's possibly electrical wiring. Look on the walls, the light switches might be dark brass or old dark brown plastic. I can see one behind a door . If there are chandeliers, or wall sconce lights, there is wiring.( i see some) . Could be behind the paneling, easily removed and then put back on. I see speakers on the bottom right on one scene. Those would probably have to plug in. If no candles, then he has lights. It's a victorian home, those usually got wired not long after wiring became available.
Welcome Trudy! It’s so good to know you’re still in the area! I hope you continue to pop in.
I hope so too, but it was just weird that she walked in on my like that. In her defense, she was bringing me tea and a scone, and I wasn't naked.
We can be thankful for that! And I’m sure she appreciates that too.
I didn't quit understand the purpose of bringing George Harrison and Friar Park into this video.
Stunning
There looks to be an outlet about a foot above the floor on the wall. You can see it about 8 minutes in , it would be to Jimmy’s left. There is a man with Jimmy about 9:50 in, and it would be right behind him. 9:54 it is visible again.11:55 another one between the empty chair and Jimmy.
Whoa! Very observant. Yeah. I can see on the floor. Now ... are there light switches? :)
Well .. now I know what to look for the next time I tour a castle. Thank you.
Your timestamps seem to be incorrect. Has the video been edited since?
Please do one on the notorious Boleiskin House....
Great DOC
No smoking , no candles burning , no electric guitar , no flatulence , no breathing !...It would be like living in a museum , thanks !
Hilarious! Gorgeous home but wouldn't want to live there. Too many restrictions.
7:10 You can clearly see there is electrical uplighting. Obviously electrics are present. As for electrical outlets, they are obviously required, if only for vacuuming, cooking, maintenance etc, theyve just been sympatheticaly positioned. At 7:40 you can see a lit desk lamp.
I really like your blurb at the end. Other animals' lives have to be respected. Great narration and pics.
Awesome place... Thank You! Really enjoy your videos...
Amazing! It should be left to the "National Trust' so that ALL can enjoy it.
It is wonderful!
It's like this home was built for Jimmy Page even before he was born.
Good on ya Jimmy, didn't expect anything less from you lot 😂😂😂❤
Fabulous house and those interiors…..thanks for the vid
My dream home…indeed 😲😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😄👍👍😉
Can you introduce me the mutual friend? I'd settle for a message passed. Hello Jimmy it's your biggest fan, I picked up the guitar 23 year's ago after listening to 'Stairway to Heaven' (like everyone else) for the first time. It has been quite a journey since...thank you for all the beautiful music, the soundtrack of my life.
The whole house 🏘️ is a work of art!! What is it valued at??
Great video! What an amount of research and editing! And I'm with you on the plant-based diet. Every time I see a lion eating an antelope I get so angry I eat a soy burger.
The pic of the Trump boys with their murdered cats infuriaes me.
I wanted to see the kitchen!!!
And bedrooms. And bath. I wonder if he plays that piano?
I would love to know where the kitchen is located there!
Incredible/Beautiful...
Did he raise his kids their??? I would like to see the kitchen , is a mixer, or blender in the room??? No TV ... see ya...
Now,,, very curious, was it a family home???
Great question. I assume they were raised at Deanery Garden. Kindly check out my video on that.
@@StrangeHistoryX....Was wondering if you had any knowledge about the large square-shaped attachment on Tower House's far left side (if looking at the home from the street).
I've always wondered if it was a large kitchen or perhaps even a garage? There seems to be a tiny walkway that attaches it to the main house.
Do you happen to know what I'm referring to? I've never seen interior photos of it and it's never talked about from what I've been able to tell for myself.
Just curious. I've wondered about it for so long now....i just want to know what it is! Lol
Thanks for this video! Great work and pictures of that gorgeous work of art mansion. 😊
Electrical outlets what for? Not plugging into any electric guitars, or TV, or any other electronics that may impair the home's vibrations.
No candles either. Flashlights allowed ? Lol
Did that ceiling with a swan on have anything to do with swan song?
To me it seems like living in a museum, not very homey. I do appreciate the architecture of course. But I'll take Friar Park with its sense of humor and beautiful gardens etc... Big Jimmy fan but where's the recording studio or at least a cool secret passage? lol
Such a shame he has an idiot living next door. Pure class Jimmy….
You had be until your friend Trudy came on.
At the end you start talking about George Harrison. How does he fit in exactly?
Check out my videos about Friar Park. I talk about Friar Park all the time.
I’m sure art wise It is spectacular; but It looks about as comfortable as a spike !
I would tough it out.
Does he actually live there now?
He likely has several homes around the world, but this certainly offers him more privacy than the Tower House where people can easily see him come and go.
The only downside.. Isnt his neighbour robbie williams
Harris employed the ORIGINAL decorators ? From the 19th Century ? I doubt it.
The original firm is still around. This is London, ya know.
Does jimmy live there full time?
He has multiple homes, including Deanery Garden which isn't too far away.
Seems to be a town house. His main residence seems to be his country home which is more private and secluded.
How it curvive it in the world war??
I live directly across the road to Jimmy, which is ok, but he’s always coming over, asking me to show him how to play stuff on guitar, to be honest, he’s becoming a bit of a pest. 😄
I heard Jimmy is throwing a New Year’s Eve eyes wide shut style party here
No matter how wealthy the owner is, or with as much artistic integrity both he and the house has, you cannot guarantee in life that your neighbours will be more than ignorant plebs......
No more Trudy- appreciate the effort but........respectfully...no
Well, you can tell her that. I can't. She won't make me tea and scones ever again. It's a dilemma.
@@StrangeHistoryX 😂😂😂😂
Nice video, yes. It would have been even better without that sleepy, stiff and artificial AI-voice...
Ummmm .... it's how I talk.
When George purchased Friar Park, Jimmy Page had only just formed Led Zeppelin. Jimmy couldn't afford Friar Park at that time.
Jimmy already had a lot of bread. I think he could have bought Friar Park. Plus, if GH didn't buy it in 1970 it may have stayed on the market. Sooner or later, I think JP would have gotten it. The estate is right up his alley.
@@StrangeHistoryX He did not already have a lot of bread. He was living on a houseboat at the time Led Zeppelin was formed. His fortune wasn't earned yet in 1969.
@@StrangeHistoryXDoes George’s widow still own FP?
The funny thing is that Pattie when house searching for her and George looked at the house that Jimmy Page bought, at the time the elderly owner did not want to sell it to a rock star lol. Friar Park was the next estate they looked at and the rest is history.
Led Zeppelin was formed by the tavistock institute.
You can see electric outlet at 7:53....drrp...
Let me know if jimmy calls you🐳🐧🐳🐧
Well, it looks like a museum to me. Not a home at all
Luckily you're not the one who's living there, then.
I'm sure Jimmy finds it comfortable enough. We've only seen a few stately rooms on the first floor and that's it. I'm sure there are plenty of spaces there that aren't so museum like where Jimmy and Scarlett relax
I hear Robbie, the neighbor and James are bosom buddies.
imagine dropping acid here
I don't see any birds in the yards? I guess jimmy is the only yardbird? Excuse me while i go laugh my ass off.
I don't find this home beautiful or uplifting. Medieval and Victorian hotch potch that offends my sense of design. Nothing is truly historic about the interior, just stabs at copying the aesthetics of certain eras. Overloaded and unrestful.
I think the campfire graphic should last another two minutes
It is a beautiful piece of architectural history but looks like an occultist’s house!
This is a hippy house.
The satanic house
You make all these video of these uber satanic celebrities…. Is quite interesting actually…… using the good ol’ method ‘’ hidden in plain sight’’ like state the obvious so nobody would believe it….. 😂😂😂😂😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Brain damage. But he was a great guitar player.
No brain damage.
I’m sure art wise It is spectacular; but It looks about as comfortable as a spike !
