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.

Hexham Abbey is one of England's oldest and most impressive churches. The abbey was originally founded in 674 AD by St. Wilfrid, using stones from nearby Roman ruins. The oldest part—the Saxon crypt—is still intact and represents a rare remnant of early Christian architecture. Inside, you'll find stained glass, the Roman tombstone of Flavinus, a 1st-century standard-bearer, an impressive Phelps organ from 1974, and a frith stool (Saxon bishop's chair). Admission to the abbey is free, with a small charge for the crypt.

About the patron saint of this church: Saint Andrew is one of the twelve apostles whom Jesus Christ called to follow him. However, in the biblical accounts, he is often somewhat overshadowed by his far more famous brother, Saint Peter. In the Gospels, we find the calling of the two siblings portrayed in different ways. According to the Gospel of John (John 1:40-42), Andrew is called first (together with another unnamed disciple). Later, he tells his brother that he has found the Messiah. The feast of Saint Andrew in the calendar of saints is November 30th in all major Christian denominations. The X-shaped white "St. Andrew's Cross," on which he was executed, forms the national flag of Scotland against a blue background and has also found its way onto the national flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

Lots of spring flowers to enjoy here. Wild garlic, bluebells, forget me nots and dandelions to name a few.
