Moot Hall, Greek Revival courthouse in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The Moot Hall is a Greek Revival courthouse built in Newcastle upon Tyne from pale-colored stone. The front displays eleven evenly spaced sections with tall columns framing a central pediment above the main entrance.
This building was constructed between 1810 and 1812 under architect John Stokoe and replaced earlier justice facilities in the area. In 1877, architect William Crozier carried out modifications to improve its function as a working courthouse.
The Grade I listed structure conducted significant legal proceedings, including Crown Court cases and the 1968 Mary Bell trial until 1990.
The structure is protected as a high-grade historic monument and its exterior is clearly visible from the surrounding streets. Time spent walking around it allows you to appreciate the architectural details and how it sits within Newcastle's urban landscape.
During construction, workers uncovered Roman coins and two stone altars from an ancient military settlement at this location. These discoveries reveal that this ground held important structures nearly 2000 years ago.
