The Moot Hall, Medieval tower in Hexham, England.

The Moot Hall features a four-story tower gate with a three-story square annexe, constructed from Routh ashlar stone in a T-shaped configuration.

Alexander Neville, Archbishop of York, commissioned the construction of this gatehouse to Hallgate around 1379, establishing its presence in medieval England.

The ground floor contains an art gallery space, while the upper levels house collections from the museums department of Northumberland County Council.

Located at coordinates 54.9716°N and -2.1008°W in Market Place, the building maintains its original vaulted thoroughfare on the ground level.

The structure retains its medieval architectural elements, including two-story pointed recesses, portcullis provisions, and windows with cusped heads throughout the building.
