This view of part of the exterior of this late 1960s Catholic church by Richard Gilbert Scott shows one of a pair of chunky concrete waterspouts, also the sturdy reinforced concrete frame with corner buttresses and the windows of stained glass between concrete fins; see the listing for the church at the Historic England site https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1410131?section=official-list-entry . Perhaps the temples of Utopia had waterspouts like this; see More on the religions of the Utopians https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/more/works/utopia/ch10.html .
