The Moot Hall. Aldeburgh. The Moot Hall was
once, as long ago as the middle of the 16th century, in the centre
of Aldeburgh. By the beginning of the 17th century houses were
being lost to the sea and a hundred years later there was little
more to the East of the Moot Hall than there is today, it is
now only a few yards from the beach. The Moot Hall is now the
meeting place of the Town Council and, upstairs, a small, but
interesting, museum. Location:
In the centre of Aldeburgh. |
