From the Wikipedia article
Fulshaw Hall is a country house, south of the civil parish of Wilmslow, in Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. Samuel Finney III, the miniature-painter to Queen Charlotte, lived at Fulshaw from 1769 until his death in 1798. The land was once held by the Knights Hospitalier during the reign of Henry III, and later requisitioned for the Special Operations Executive (SOE) during WWII. The house was built with money generated from enslaved labour in the British West Indies.
