Moyse's Hall is a building in the Suffolk town of Bury St Edmunds. It is a Grade I listed building[1] and is thought to have been originally built circa 1180.[2][3] It is probable but not certain that it was a Jewish merchant's house.[3] In 1895, before it became a museum, part was in use by the Great Eastern Railway as a Parcel Receiving and Enquiry Office, with another section being incorporated into the Castle Hotel.[4] It has also been used as the town's jail, police station, and as a workhouse.[5]
