The Guildhall, Winchester. Jeffery & Skiller. 1871-3. Extension to the left by J. B. Colson (1820-1895), the architectural surveyor of Winchester Cathedral, 1892-3. [Detail of entrance porch] This impressive building has been described as "Gothic, symmetrical, with a middle tower and this as well as the angle pavilions provided with French pavilion roofs"; and as having a "deeply vaulted porch" at the entrance — for all this part "[t]he style is Second Pointed," while Colson's long extension is "much plainer" (Pevsner and Lloyd 697).
