The old Moot House

The Old Moot House, formerly known as No 22, is a Grade II listed building located at No 25 Market Place, incorporating Nos 2, 4, and 6 Upper Dagnall Street. This timber-framed structure dates back to the 15th century and features a large first-floor hall that jetties at the front and side over a low ground floor. It has a dragon beam, which is currently boxed in, at the angle of the building. The exterior has undergone significant alterations in the 18th century.

The building has a high-pitched, hipped, tiled roof with a moulded wood eaves cornice. The first floor is plastered and displays mock timber framing on the surface. It features 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars set in slightly projecting, moulded frames, while the ground floor has early 20th-century shop fronts.

Inside, there are many exposed heavy posts and beams, along with close stuffing. Although the tile beams of the original roof truss have been removed, the moulded posts on the first floor still show the tenon holes. A ceiling has been inserted about 3 feet above the tie beam level, but the original open roof truss's chamfered and moulded collar beams remain in the new attic. The south return of the building has an eight-window front, with the eighth bay being a separate property, No 6 Upper Dagnall Street.
