The Moot Hall, Grade II listed building in Keswick, England

The Moot Hall stands at the southern end of Main Street with a square tower, round-arched doorway, and a clock from 1814.

The structure originated as a medieval courthouse for the manor of Castlerigg and Derwentwater, owned by the Radclyffe family during the 16th century.

The Marshall family transformed the building into the Keswick Museum of Local and Natural History in 1873, displaying a model of the Lake District.

The ground floor of the Moot Hall functions as a Tourist Information Centre, while the upper floors provide space for community events.

Workers discovered a forgotten well during paving activities near the south wall in 2003, adding to the historical features of the building.
