Voices within the Walls of Abandoned Mansion Hopwood XIV - Battle for the Castle 2025-09-04 | Crowdfunding to HELP US FIGHT! givesendgo.com/SaveHopwoodHallIf the walls of Hopwood Hall could talk, imagine the stories they would tell…Due to the ongoing dispute with Rochdale Council, the volunteers, community, and Hopwood Foundation remain locked out of the historic hall they’ve cared for and protected for many years. Unable to film inside today, we turn to the past to keep its spirit alive.This episode is crafted entirely from footage captured before the “lock-out,” combined with archival photographs taken over the years. Using the power of AI and human performance, we’ve brought the centuries-old wood and stone carvings characters within Hopwood Hall to life—offering just a glimpse of the treasures hidden inside.This is only a small window into the characters and craftsmanship that make Hopwood Hall so special. Thank you for watching, and for standing with us in keeping history alive. We hope you enjoy and we hope to share more episodes about the wonderful hall we care so dearly for.

CRISIS UPDATE: Hopwood Hall Estate #SaveHopwoodHall Hopwood XIV - Battle for the Castle 2024-11-29 | Please sign this petition to help: https://chng.it/XX8JVtJgw5Hopwood Hall Estate: The Community Speaks OutOn 20th November 2024 an emergency public meeting was called in Middleton, England, to discuss the urgent situation at Hopwood Hall Estate.For those who have been following the decade-long ancestral journey of Hopwood DePree and the dedicated community volunteers and heritage professionals, as they restore this 600-year-old historic estate here on YouTube…there has been a tragic turn of events. Recently and without warning, the Council made the shocking decision to revoke access to Hopwood Hall Estate to Hopwood, the volunteers and the local community.This devastating news only came to light when a media outlet approached Hopwood for his reaction, and later he was notified the gates had been locked and a notice posted. Despite numerous attempts to speak to the opposing councillors, at the time of this video’s release, we have yet to hear from them.We are still left asking, “Why?”.Hopwood Hall Estate had been a prisoner of bureaucracy for decades, inaccessible to the public for over 30 years, shackled by red tape, and at the brink of ruin. This all happened under the Council’s ownership and it seemed as though the last remaining historic property in the area would end its life as a ruin.That was until this most recent rescue project commenced in 2017 led by Hopwood DePree and the Hopwood Foundation Friends who were compelled to step in and try to rescue it - with a vision to make the hall a vibrant hub for the community.Watch our vision for the estate here: youtu.be/WEurdPZqzh4?feature=sharedPetition Link: https://chng.it/XX8JVtJgw5#rochdale #savehopwoodhall
