Actor Sues Council Over Ancestral Home
Update: 2025-12-24
Description
Hollywood actor and producer, Hopwood DePree, is suing Rochdale Borough Council over the eviction from his ancestral home, Hopwood Hall. After restoring the sixty-room mansion and planning a £13 million revamp, the council ended their partnership, claiming the project was too slow and lacked funding. DePree, who wrote a book about his quest to save the hall, feels betrayed and is fighting for access. The council argues they must protect public assets and has started their own repairs. A High Court hearing could set timelines for the councils response.
