The Royston No.100 carries a cross cast in relief at the centre of its front face — the plainest possible statement of ecclesiastical purpose, and on the right building the correct one.
The body is square, tapering to the outlet beneath a moulded cornice, with substantial cast lugs to the sides. The cross sits within the flat field of the face, of a form that reads clearly from the ground and takes a picked-out finish well. Everything else about the casting is left deliberately quiet so the motif carries the elevation.
Ecclesiastical rainwater goods were routinely marked in this way, and on churches, chapels, church halls, lychgates, vicarages and cemetery buildings the device belongs to the building’s own vocabulary. It is worth confirming the form of cross against any surviving original ironwork or the building’s other metalwork before specifying — different traditions and denominations used markedly different forms, and matching matters.
Cast in solid iron to BS 460:2002, supplied in primer or black as standard, with heritage colours and traditional linseed oil finishes available on request.
Pipe connections: 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round; 75×75mm, 100×100mm and 125×125mm square; 100×75mm, 125×100mm and 150×125mm rectangular.

Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically appropriate choice for listed buildings, and are generally preferred by conservation officers and local planning authorities over modern plastic alternatives. Tuscan Foundry cast iron hopper heads are manufactured in solid grey iron and are suitable for use on listed buildings and within conservation areas. A linseed oil finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for sensitive heritage projects.
The Ornamental Airbrick is most appropriate on Victorian Gothic buildings — churches, chapels, vicarages, almshouses, collegiate buildings, and high-specification estate architecture — where decorative ironwork was part of the original design. It suits listed building replacements in kind and heritage new build where period accuracy in detailing is expected.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available with 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round outlets, 75mm, 100mm and 125mm square outlets, and 100x75mm, 125x100mm and 150x125mm rectangular outlets, to match the downpipe already on site or specified for the project.
The Gothic foliate tracery design of the Ornamental Airbrick provides a good free-flow ventilation area relative to its face size. The open area is comparable to other standard cast iron airbrick patterns. The visual density of the pattern at a distance reads as solid ironwork, which suits formal and decorative elevations without compromising subfloor ventilation effectiveness.
