Moot Hall, Municipal building and tourism office in Boroughgate, Appleby-in-Westmorland, England
The rectangular Moot Hall features a stucco exterior with six bays on each side, an external staircase, and a bellcote positioned on the roof.
After its completion in 1596, the Moot Hall functioned as the venue for county assize hearings from 1670 until 1778 before their relocation to Shire Hall.
The building contains notable artworks including a portrait attributed to Godfried Schalcken and a painting of William Lowther, First Earl of Lonsdale.
The ground floor houses the Tourist Information Centre, while the first floor accommodates the council chamber and mayor's parlour for town council meetings.
The comprehensive restoration in 2022 replaced modern cement with traditional hot-mixed lime render to allow the historic structure to maintain proper moisture levels.
