A moot hall is a meeting or assembly building, traditionally to decide local issues.
In Anglo-Saxon England, a low ring-shaped earthwork served as a moot hill or moot mound, where the elders of the hundred would meet to take decisions. Some of these acquired permanent buildings, known as moot halls.
Surviving moot halls include: Moot Hall, Aldeburgh Moot Hall, Appleby Moot Hall, Brampton Moot Hall, Daventry Moot Hall, Elstow Moot Hall, Hexham Moot Hall, Holton le Moor Moot Hall, Keswick Moot Hall, Newcastle upon Tyne Moot Hall, Newark-on-Trent Moot Hall, Maldon Moot Hall, Mansfield Moot Hall, St Albans Moot Hall, Steeple Bumpstead Moot Hall, Wirksworth
