WELCOME to Hopwood Hall Estate (AKA "Downton Shabby") in Middleton, England.
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 "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!
Thank you to all our Patreons, Friends and Supporters who have decided to come along on the ride with us as we transform this irreplaceable British treasure back to her original grandeur! It may take us some time, but we embrace it, as the fun is in the process!! We hope you agree and that you will gain as much from watching the journey as we are experiencing it - and do feel free to contact us via the comments section below.

Congratulations Hopwood, and congratulations to all the volunteers!❤
Thank you Jane!!
Oh my goodness! This is absolutely epic! An enormous well done to everyone involved. What an enormous boost to morale too and to enable you to move on with floors etc. I’ve been thrilled to watch your progress for years from Denmark and I am now permanently back in the UK and I am hoping that one day I can come and take a public tour. So incredibly pleased for everyone. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Nell! Yes we would love it if you can come for a tour- and now it will be possible as we move forward with the improvements. Thank you so much for your amazing support!! 😀

Such fantastic news and well deserved. I was given your book for Christmas and absolutely loved it. Love from South Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Aw that's amazing! 😀 Thank you Heather!! Hello to South Australia!! ❤
My daughter and I were near there September 2023, our US to England trip. If we would have been able, a visit to Hopwood Hall would have been added to trip, just like we visited Blenheim Palace
Thank you Naomi! Hopefully you'll return in the future once we can get everything set up to welcome visitors!!
yeah, great news. I'm looking forward to see all the lovely changes and improvements. It's quite a Journey you and Hopwood are undertaking and I enjoy travelling along with you 🙂
Thank you! Great to have you along with us!!
Congratulations! That’s such a huge blessing to you and the community! I can’t wait to see the floors when they’re done! I’m sure they will be a dream come true.
Thank you Margarita!
Hopwood! I've recently discovered your channel. WOW!!!
You are doing an amazing job of rescuing a beautiful historic building. It's great to see your enthusiasm and optimism, and it's obviously infectious judging by the number of people and organisations you've inspired to get on board with your fabulous project.
I moved to Halifax last year, just on the other edge of the Pennines, and I know I must get over there soon on one of your future open days.
I watched your citizenship test episodes a couple of days ago - well done sir!
You have a gorgeous home - I don't know if you've already moved in to some part of it, but I envy you the day you do. I wish you all the luck in the world!
Thank you so much Paul! Great to know you are watching and along with us on the adventure! 😀
A Plutonian here. We here on Pluto have watched your progress & all the Plutonians (there aren't to many of us left), congratulate 🎉🎉🎉 with your new development!
Thank you!

Sooooooo HAPPY for you and Hopwood Hall!
Thank you Robbie!
WAY TO GO~~!!! Leave it to Dori to write a grant to win~!!! I so want to come on over and take a sledge hammer to that 60's brick!! It's amazing to think the Hall had it's own butter room and cheesery (sp)? Keep up the good work. These volunteers look loyal, dedicated and FUN~!!
❤❤ Thanks Deb! Always love to read your comments!! 😀😂
I could not be happier for all of you. It's obvious you all have become a family. It's amazing what you are doing!
Thank you!! 😀
Congratulations! I hope it happens again! And again. And again! A very worthy project. From me in the States to you and all the volunteers with you there in the UK. Fantastic news! Use it well.
Thank you so much Thomas! Great to know you are watching!!
Hip Hip Hooray!!!!
😀
Wonderful news🎉, Congratulations🎊
Thank you!!
Absolutely fantastic. Well done all!!
It's a little funny. I watch Mapperton Live and several French chateau Utube channels and they are all usually bundled up in the winter. Hopwood didn't mention heating being a part of the grant but I hope someday they'll have it.
Haha yes I do hope for heat too! Thank you!!
Hip hip hooray! Congratulations Hopwood and everybody who love and help resurrect a beautiful home! Much love from Washington state!!!! 🎉❤🎉❤
Thanks Cheryl! Hello to Washington!!
@@HopwoodXIV 🥰👋
Thats fantastic! Can't wait to see what the funds do.
Thanks Margaret!
Awesome!! :D
😀
Very well deserved. 🎉
Thank you!! 😀
Thats Amazing! That means you can pay 3 workers full time 65,869 USD and still have 120,000 left over for additional costs! Thats really good because the avreage pay for someone in the UK is 39,739 USD! Best of luck Hopwood!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you Susan!
It's a bit of a Hollywood movie storyline, a handsome American coming to little Britain to restore a building and bring some pride to the community
Haha cheers Murray!
