''In a Monaster Garden'' is a two-minute piece created by Delia for the 1963 Charlie Drake film ''[[The Cracksman]]''.

Delia's papers contain a carbon copy of a typewritten invoice to Associated British Picture Corporation dated 25th April 1963:
<PRE>
For creating two minutes of electronic
sound for the 'In a Monastery Garden'
sequence of 'The Cracksman', and sup-
plying these sounds on ¼" tape at 15 i.p.s.,
40 guineas.
</PRE>
with a note in her handwriting at the bottom saying:
<PRE>
the instrument is an Eb safe-
unlocking mechanism!
Hope you like it --
Delia Derbyshire
</PRE>

Although the 1963 Charlie Drake comedy film by ABPC contains a short sequence in which Drake and some prisoners escape briefly into the prison grounds, its music is orchestral and has nothing matching Delia's description or style.
