Fulshaw Hall Fulshaw Hall is a former manor house south of Wilmslow, Cheshire, England. It was built in 1684 for Samuel Finney, a merchant who emigrated to Pennsylvania. In 1735 the house was extended by his son Samuel Finney II. He extended the cross wings and added a service wing, but ruined himself financially in the process. His son Samuel Finney III, miniature painter to Queen Charlotte, restored the house in 1765. In 1886 major additions were made by Richard Lingard Monk in Accrington brick; these were in Jacobean style. The earlier parts of the house are constructed in plum-coloured brick with painted sandstone dressings; the extensions are in Accrington brick with stone dressings. The roofs are in Kerridge stone-slate, and the chimneys are brick. The earlier house is in 2½ storeys, and has a symmetrical seven-bay front. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. During the Second World War the building was requisitioned by the War Office and used for training Special Operations Executive agents. After the war it was used as offices by ICI, and later by AstraZeneca. To the north of the hall are the former coach house and stables built by Lingard Monk in 1890. They are constructed in orange brick and have an L-shaped plan. They are also listed at Grade II.
