The Moot Hall is a prominent historic building situated at the southern end of Main Street in Keswick, Cumbria, England. It is Grade II* listed.
The hall has its origins in a medieval courthouse, used by the manor of Castlerigg and Derwentwater, which was in the ownership of the Radclyffe family by the 16th century. Richard Dudley, of Yanwath, acting as the local overseer on behalf of the "Company of Mines Royal", took a lease on the building from Lady Catherine Radclyffe of Derwentwater, the wife of Sir George Radclyffe of Derwentwater , in 1570. Dudley converted it into a storehouse for "weighing and keeping copper". He wrote to the Secretary of State, Sir William Cecil, in October 1570 to report that the works were ongoing and it appears that those works, which involved "pulling down of the old house", were completed the following year.
