This channel follows the unexpected adventures of American Hopwood DePree who, whilst living in Los Angeles, traced his family tree online, and discovered his abandoned 60-room ancestral home in Middleton, England, known as "Hopwood Hall Estate" that dates back to 1426! Hopwood was informed that if he didn't do something very soon to save the Hall, it would be lost forever. So he packed his bags and left LA to take on the madcap challenge of his life with a passionate team of supporters and community volunteers, in England.
We share the ups & downs, failures & triumphs of this group effort DIY rescue emergency: learning new skills, discovering house & garden secrets and seeking the inspirations that will be needed to get this Estate back onto her feet once again!
It is a challenging project but please come along with us on the adventure.
In addition to the rescue of Hopwood Hall, our channel looks at other historic estates and buildings in both the UK & US that are in need of rescue!
Thank you to all our Patreons, Friends and Supporters who have decided to come along on the ride with us as we transform these irreplaceable treasures back to their grandeur!
