St Margaret's Church, Downs Road, South Wonston

South Wonston Primary School (http://southwonston.hants.sch.uk/ ) and St Margaret's Church (http://www.southwonston-church.co.uk/index.html ) share the site and the church (right), which was built in 1996, is joined to the school buildings (left). The church occupies a narrow site within the row of residential houses along Downs Road. The church was partly sunken to meet objections about its height from neighbours. The tower-like structure sadly lacks a spire or other feature to top it off. The rectangular hole in the masonry at the top left of the tower, which I first thought might contain a bell, in fact contains a TV aerial. This southeastern side of the church is only visible from the grounds of the school which are not open to the public. Access for this photograph by kind permission of St Margaret's.
