Following Crisp's death in 1919 the house and land were sold to Percival Victor David (later a baronet), who still lived there in 1939.
Before the 1950s it was acquired with around 30 a. by the Salesian Sisters of St John Bosco, a Catholic teaching-order which ran a school there until the late 1960s;
soon afterwards it became the home of the rock musician George Harrison (d. 2001), famous as a member of the Beatles.

Интересно, этот ли Дэвид жил в это домике после Криспа?

Среди соседей Харрисона кроме Дасти Спрингфилд можно еще назвать Элвина Ли из Ten Years After.

Alvin and George Harrison became close friends and neighbours after Alvin moved in to Hook End Manor, as Alvin says, “George lived just down the road at Friar Park in Henley, and we used to jam together, and play on each others albums all the time. I remember one time he came over with Eric Clapton and Carl Radle, and I was rehearsing with my new band Ten Years Later. We had a jam session and recorded ‘Too Many Lead Guitarists Blues’. At the end I shouted ‘everybody take it’ and it turned into the loudest cacophony you’ve ever heard. George would later come over and play slide guitar on my albums. He played on ‘Real Life Blues’, ‘Talk Don’t Bother Me and ‘The Bluest Blues’. George also played on my version of the ‘Beatles’ I Want You-She’s So Heavy. He was a wonderful man, and I miss him greatly. He always used to send my mum a food hamper or flowers on her birthday.”

А я и смотри что-то уж больно непонятно - никакой мысли, относящей к теме. А вот в настоящем тексте...

Let it roll across the floor
Through the hall and out the door
To the fountain of perpetual mirth
Let it roll for all it’s worth

Find me where ye echo lays
Lose ye bodies in the maze
See the lord and all the mouths he feeds
Let it roll among the weeds
Let it roll

Let it roll down through the caves
Ye long walks of coole and shades
Through ye woode, here may ye rest awhile
Handkerchiefs to match your tie
Let it roll

Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll

Fools illusions everywhere
Joan and molly sweep the stairs
Eyes that shining full of inner light
Let it roll into the night

Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll
