Adlington Hall, in Macclesfield, Cheshire has been home to the Legh family since the fourteenth century. Renovations during the first half of the 18th century converted the Tudor building into a large Georgian manor. The composer Handel was a friend of the Legh family and played the organ in the Great Hall in 1741.
