Description
Moot Hall is a mid-18th century building located on the north side of Market Place. The front is constructed of ashlar, while the side elevation is made of red brick with a channelled stucco ground floor. The building stands three storeys tall, featuring a tiled roof behind a parapet and a wide modillioned pediment that includes a clock in the tympanum. At the apex, there is an octagonal wooden cupola topped with a wrought iron weather vane. The front has three sash windows with glazing bars, and the upper storeys display keystones and architrave surrounds. The ground floor features a continuous entablature, Doric angle pilasters, and round arched windows with intersecting arched glazing bars, archivolts, keystones, and impost entablatures supported by pairs of small Doric pilasters resting on a continuous sill. The side elevation, added in 1806, includes a pedimented Doric porch flanking round arched windows, with three windows on each upper floor set under flat arches. A modillion cornice completes the design.
