Unterhalb der 1500er Jahre mit Fischgrätenziegeln ziert eine Weinrebe, die regelmäßig Trauben aus Eichenholz trägt, tragende Balken im Nordgiebel der Tudor-Moot Hall in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, England, Großbritannien. Die Halle wurde um 1520 unter König Heinrich VIII. Erbaut und 1654 umgebaut. Ursprünglich ein offener Markt, ist das Gebäude heute das Rathaus und beherbergt das Aldeburgh Museum. Die Moot Hall ist seit 400 Jahren das Zentrum der lokalen Regierung in Aldeburgh.

Aldeburgh, Suffolk, England, UK: vine trail carving with bunches of grapes decorates the oak bressummer beam bearing the load of timber framing and 17th century herringbone brickwork, above a mullioned and transomed wooden window with 14 leaded lights in the north gable of the Moot Hall, built in the reign of King Henry VIII. The Moot Hall, dating from about 1520, stands in Market Cross Place, facing Aldeburgh’s long shingle beach. It was built to shelter the town’s open market and on its west front, four infilled arches survive from that time. It has been the centre of local government in the town for the last 400 years and Aldeburgh Town Council now shares both floors of the building with Aldeburgh Museum. The Tudor building was altered in 1654, then restored and partly rebuilt in the mid-1800s when an external staircase was added. Inside, the three ground floor rooms are accessed by four-centred arched doorways with sculpted spandrels. On the first floor, the council chamber has chamfered tie beams on arched braces supporting a tiled roof. In the 1500s, Aldeburgh was an important port and flourishing shipbuilding centre. It gained borough status under Henry VIII, but declined as the River Alde silted up and large ships could no longer berth. Much of Tudor Aldeburgh was lost to coastal erosion, but the town survived on fishing until the 1800s, when it became a seaside resort. It is now best known as the home of composer Benjamin Britten (1913-76), and for its cultural activities. The Snape Maltings arts complex, founded by Britten, hosts an international arts festival as well as many other events. D0569.A6806
