I got into your channel this year after reading about your story in Downton Shabby. It was great to see all the progress that was made this year and am going to go back and watch the earlier videos I missed. Also am keeping my fingers crossed for a book sequal you hinted at😊
I'm glad you mentioned my two favorite videos. The restoration of the model of Hopwood, which literally took my breath away when it was unveiled. Also, the visit and the history of Guy Fawkes ancestor. May your New Year be safe, joyous and prosperous. Watching from Ohio
I too liked the model restoration. Chimneys and fireplaces. amazing woodwork. Can't wait to see the ceilings being fixed/restored. A lovely building. Hope 2023 is a good one for you Hopwood and the Hall and all volunteers. Doing a great job.
Woohoo! Guy Fawkes got a mention! Got to love that man! Great to make the video with you Hopwood,and as you rightly say,after all these years,here we are,you an ancestor of the Hopwood's,and myself an ancestor of Guy Fawkes,walking in their footsteps...amazing....
I'm in 59 of 71...then will go for the book & Patreon - thank you for also making this entertaining. Too bad you can't get "This Old House" to come over and do kinda of an assessment and help with 1 room....just a thought....hahaha I'm always full of unsolicited thoughts.
Wow - looks like you got to the servant's wing just in time! It was well on its way to being a rubble heap. This video reminded me of all the earlier ones I want to catch up on - bees 🐝and bats 🦇oh my! A very Happy New Year from south Texas, and may 2023 be filled with renovating success!
Wow! I just found out about your channel tonight from my cousin- another Hopwood! We are a large family of Hopwoods from New England!! I know we hail from England so I’m sure we’re related somewhere along the line. It’s my dream to restore a castle/manor! I’m so excited to watch and hopefully learn more about the Hopwoods!
Happy New Year to you and all the helping angels at Hopwood Hall! I'm also tired of the bats making homes in the rafters above my front porch...enough bat poop already! Richard
Congratulations on all your work, Hopwood! I have a poem for the new year but I ran out of creativity after the third stanza. May bats not hang out in your attic Or bees abide in your walls May your fields be free of balsom This year at Hopwood Hall May you not find any skeletons Of ancestors in the walls May no one fall through the ceiling or floor This year at Hopwood Hall May your chimneys draw correctly When you light them in the fall May you be able to tap-dance on flagstones This year at Hopwood Hall
That 'lovely Police Officer' didn't realise how big his tummy looks when he's not got his body armour on 😂 Also, given the courts recent sentencing he'd like to hope The Hall will be safe from stone thieves for a long time now 👍
Great to see such positive progress on restoring this lovely building, respect for putting your time and hard earned money into this Hopwood. I found your channel through an urban explorer's channel, Martin Zero, who did a nice video on Hopwood Hall around the time you first bought it, maybe you could offer him a tour of the place once it's completed - his channel's here: ua-cam.com/video/kSoxYvtjvEw/v-deo.html Good luck with the rest of the restoration, it's an adventure like no other! 🙂
Really great Hopwood! You have come a long way baby! As the saying goes! Tremendous!!
Thank you to all the volunteers!!
I like the yearly recaps :D Im okay with them being a long detailed video about the years progress, because its the new year just now :D
We'll look at trying to get another one of these out!
Red the book in one sitting - gripping - keep it up
Thanks so much David- that's great to hear!!
I hope you will have a room filled with the pictures of the people helping you restore the estate.
Thanks so much Robert - yes we would love to do something like that!
Amazing video! Nice to see the bat and hear about your year 2022. Good job! I like your wonderful humour! So funny!
Thank you Lilian! 😀

Hopwood! We architecture nerds need floor plans! Be brave, show us yours...! 😳
Haha thanks TJ! We have been continuing to work on them so hopefully we'll be able to show them sometime in the new year!

Happy New Year Kat! Going to be a great year!!
It would be fun if you found where the trash was buried in the past. I just came across your channel and am trying to catch up.
Nice model.
Congratulations on all your work, Hopwood! I have a poem for the new year but I ran out of creativity after the third stanza.
May bats not hang out in your attic
Or bees abide in your walls
May your fields be free of balsom
This year at Hopwood Hall
May you not find any skeletons
Of ancestors in the walls
May no one fall through the ceiling or floor
This year at Hopwood Hall
May your chimneys draw correctly
When you light them in the fall
May you be able to tap-dance on flagstones
This year at Hopwood Hall
Hahaha thank you Kate! Love it! 🤣❤
Is Bob still at Hopwood Hall? Haven’t seen him in a video for ages.
Hi yes Bob's still there! He was recently in the Leaded Glass Window video and also appears in quite a few of our Patreon vids!

hahaha. Yes thanks to you and the GMP and network of police for all your incredible work!
