He wrote it during filming for the 1966-1967 film, How I Won The War. The inspiration was on old orphanage near where John lived, called Strawberry Fields. Strawberry Fields is no longer there, but, it was ironically located on Penny Lane in Liverpool.

yes Elton John knows every song by The Beatles because the Beatles are his favorite group and one of his top influances
No it's not. I'm a big Beatles/John Lennon fan so I know. What it's about is a place in Liverpool where John used to hang-out while he was a child, it is called 'Strawberry Field' but John later added a 's' at the end of Field.
The song was written by John Lennon and recorded at the end of 1966
There is controversy seeing as it is a "conspiracy theory" in later interviews with John Lennon concerning the topic he claimed to have said "cranberry sauce".
Reginald Dwight is Elton John's real name. Or his given name.
He said "Cranberry Sauce". It is kinda hard to mistake it... But, People Are Kinda Dumb These dAYS1!!!11
