The weathervane appears to be a series of five oak trees growing out of the side of a building.
Enquiries in the tourist Informaiton Centre in Moot Hall failed to add any further information about the weathervane itself.
The history of the Moot Hall is sketchy, but there are reports of a significant building on the site as early as 1571. The current building was erected in 1813, and since then has served as a courthouse, a prison, a museum, a town hall and even a butter and fruit market! The famous one-handed clock can be seen above the west end of the hall. The building is now home to Keswick’s Tourist Information Centre.
