The Moot Hall, Hexham

Highlight • Historical Site

Hexham Moot Hall is an impressive medieval gatehouse dating from around 1379, situated on the east side of the Market Place. It was built by order of the Archbishop of York, Alexander Neville, as a gateway to the walled complex surrounding the Old Gaol. A Grade I listed building, it is one of the best-preserved medieval courthouses in Northern England. It comprises a four-story tower with a vaulted doorway on the ground floor and a courtroom on the first floor. The tower features Gothic windows, a machicolated parapet, and a three-story annex with a stepped gable. It served as the Hexhamshire Courthouse until 1572, and then for the midsummer quarter sessions until 1838.

Highlight • Historical Site

St. Andrew’s Church in Corbridge is one of the oldest and most historic churches in Northumberland, with roots dating back to 674 AD, when St. Wilfrid founded a monastery here.

Saxon and Norman elements include a Saxon window, a Norman zigzag doorway, and a 13th-century chancel. Vicar’s Pele Tower: a 14th-century fortified tower house built with Roman stone, once a refuge from Scottish raids. King’s Oven: a communal bread oven dating from 1310, still visible on the site.
