I like St Winfrid's which seems to me to be an unusual building. Built in 1937, within it is strikingly bright, the galleries each lit by three big round-headed windows, and plenty of small attractive ones. The interior always appears grand in scale with an engaging space. Externally, it's of red brick with a saddleback roof, and tower (the lightning conductor just visible). On way to the nearby Testwood Stadium to watch Totton 0-4 Salisbury in a non-league match of high quality.

SU31 T201 LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR and BOLT. St Winfred's. Looks to be of an industrial design with an interesting shaped lightning conductor on roof apex (follow the earth strap!).
