The 500 year old secret uncovered at Bramall Hall

Work is underway on the £1.6 million restoration of Bramall Hall, a Tudor mansion in Stockport.

The building is currently covered in a giant tarpaulin sheet while repairs are made to the leaking roof.

The project involves preserving some unique features.

BBC Radio Manchester's Richard Stead has been for a look round.
