Downton Shabby : one American's ultimate DIY adventure restoring his family's English castle
DePree, Hopwood, 1970-2022
Book
Here is a ready-for-TV story - with charm and humour in abundance - about a Los Angeles producer who moves to England to save his ancestral castle from ruin. Hollywood producer Hopwood DePree had been told as a boy that an ancestor - who he was named for - had left his family's English castle in the 1700s to come to America. One night after some wine and a visit to Ancestry.com, Hopwood discovered a photograph of a magnificent English estate with a familiar name - Hopwood Hall, a 60-room, 600-year-old grand manor on 5000 acres. And with that, Hopwood DePree's life took an almost fairytale turn.
