manor

A US actor's dream of restoring his ancestral home to its former glory has been left in ruins after the council that owns the 15th century manor house pulled out of the deal.

Planning permission for Mr DePree's scheme was granted in 2022, the same year he wrote Downton Shabby, which chronicled his efforts to revive the manor.

Ahsan and Mr Marshall had travelled together to Urmston, under the pretence of seeing someone near Manor Park, Greater Manchester Police said.

The 29-year-old victim was shot near Manor Park, Urmston in 2015 before the offenders sped away in a car.

Four people, including two young children, have been taken to hospital after emergency crews were called to the bridge, on Manor Road, Bilston, at about 11:15 BST.
