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.

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.
Yes. A polished brass finish is historically appropriate for period buildings and is generally acceptable to conservation officers for listed building projects. If you are unsure about the specification requirements for your project, we are happy to advise — call 0333 987 4452.
The satin chrome telescopic rooflight hand winder is well suited to contemporary and transitional interiors where a brushed chrome finish complements modern or minimal ironmongery. It is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and timber-framed skylights.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a standard primed and black-painted finish, ready for on-site topcoats. Heritage colour finishes and factory-applied linseed oil paint are available on request. Linseed oil paint is a vapour-permeable, period-appropriate finish particularly well suited to listed buildings and conservation area properties.
Prices are shown on each product page. For project quantities, specification advice, or a formal quotation, please call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form.
Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building classes. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
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 H460 is well suited to Georgian, Regency, and Victorian buildings where a plain, undecorated rectangular hopper is the appropriate choice — particularly listed properties, conservation area buildings, and institutional or commercial buildings in historic town centres. Its clean, restrained form makes it equally appropriate on modern heritage-style construction where period accuracy is required without ornamental detail.
Yes. Cast iron ornamental vents in period patterns are frequently specified on listed buildings and conservation area properties as like-for-like replacements for original Victorian ironwork. Conservation officers generally accept cast iron in period patterns without objection. We can supply specifications to support planning and listed building consent applications.
The H528 measures 760mm wide x 370mm deep x 565mm high, making it well suited to the largest properties in the range — substantial country houses, civic buildings and ecclesiastical projects.
