Notes

Description
"Downton Shabby--the name Hopwood coined for the glorious ruin--traces Hopwood DePree's adventures as he gives up his life in Hollywood and moves permanently to England to save Hopwood Hall from ruin. But the task is far too big for one person, of course. Hopwood discovers that the Hall comes with an unforgettable cast of new neighbors he can call on for help--from the electrician whose mum had fond memories of working at the Hall to gruff caretaker Bob, and the local aristocrats who (sort of) come to accept Hopwood as one of their own. Together, as they navigate the trials and triumphs of trying to save an actual castle, Hopwood finds himself ever further from the security of his old life, but comes to realize that, actually, he's never been closer to home." -- inside front jacket flap.
Description
"HGTV meets Downton Abbey! A ready-for-TV story-with charm and humor in abundance-about a Los Angeles producer who moves to England to save his ancestral castle from ruin"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
DePree had been told as a boy that an ancestor had left his family's English castle in the 1700s to come to America. He found a photograph of Hopwood Hall on Ancestry.com: a 60-room, 600-year-old grand manor on 5,000 acres in northwest England. The last remaining male heirs were killed in World War I, and the Hall had fallen gradually into disrepair and was close to collapse. Despite the fact that he lived in Los Angeles and had no construction skills,DePree decided he would save Hopwood Hall. Here he traces the trials and triumphs of trying to save a real castle. -- adapted from jacket
