Moot Hall, Grade I listed building in Market Cross Place, Aldeburgh, England
The timber-framed Moot Hall features an asymmetrical west frontage with a jettied first floor extending over the ground-level pavement and former shop spaces.
The construction of Moot Hall began around 1520, serving as a municipal building where local courts conducted trials and town meetings took place.
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson made her mark at Moot Hall in 1908 when she became the first female mayor in England during a ceremony.
The Aldeburgh Museum, established in 1912 and relocated to Moot Hall in 1955, displays artifacts from the Snape Anglo-Saxon Cemetery and local maritime history.
The ground floor of Moot Hall initially contained a series of shops, while the first floor housed the council chamber for municipal governance.
