An American actor and director who moved to Northern England to renovate a 600-year-old derelict hall once belonging to his ancestors is sharing the exciting restoration process with the world.
Michigan native Hopwood DePree, 53, moved to Manchester, England, from Los Angeles in 2017 to begin the epic, years-long restoration of the 600-year-old, 60-room Hopwood Hall, a building he once believed existed only in his bedtime stories.
