Redesdale Hall, building in Moreton-in-Marsh, Cotswold, Gloucestershire, UK
Redesdale Hall is a Grade II listed building from the late 1800s standing on the high street of Moreton-in-Marsh. The structure features free Tudor architecture with light stone, a distinctive clock tower with a crown-shaped roof, and a symmetrical facade divided into six sections, with the ground floor originally designed with open arches.
Built in 1887 by Bertram Freeman-Mitford as a gift to the town to replace a deteriorating market building, the hall was designed by architect Sir Ernest George. Freeman-Mitford was made Baron in 1902, and after his death the building eventually passed to the town council in 1951 for public use.
Redesdale Hall takes its name from Baron Redesdale, its original benefactor, and stands at the heart of community life in Moreton-in-Marsh. The building brings residents together regularly for meetings, performances, and celebrations that shape the town's social calendar.
The building sits in the center of Moreton-in-Marsh on the high street and is easy to find and reach on foot. Inside, large open spaces can be adapted for different types of events and gatherings.
When the local government moved to a new building in the 1930s, the hall became available for public use and community events. In 1972, musician Elton John held a special event there to launch a music label and later purchased a painting of the hall created by artist L. S. Lowry.
