The Calnethorpe is one of the most architecturally substantial hopper heads in the Tuscan Foundry range — a large-format cast iron rainwater hopper designed for Georgian, Regency, and formal classical elevations where scale, proportion, and material authenticity are non-negotiable.
At 445mm wide, 180mm deep, and 370mm high, the Calnethorpe commands a building elevation with the quiet confidence of a piece that was designed to be seen. Its form is intentionally restrained: a deep projecting open-top cornice with a rolled rim draws the eye, flat panel sides carry the weight of the body without ornament, and a stepped, corbel-shouldered base steps cleanly inward to the outlet below. Wall-mounting lugs are cast integrally to each side. There is nothing superfluous here — just proportion, mass, and the unmistakable texture of hand-finished cast iron.
The Calnethorpe suits principal elevations on large Georgian townhouses, country houses, manor houses, and formal civic or institutional buildings. It performs equally well on new heritage-style construction where the brief calls for authentic cast iron rainwater goods specified to conservation standard.
Produced in the UK in solid cast iron, the Calnethorpe is available in a range of finishes and with a broad choice of pipe connections to suit round, square, and rectangular downpipes.
Pipe connections: Round 65/75/100mm | Square 75×75 / 100×100 / 125×125mm | Rectangular 100×75 / 125×100 / 125×100 / 150×100mm

Yes. Cast iron is the original material for external soil stacks on most period buildings, and like-for-like replacement in cast iron is usually what conservation officers expect. Check with your local planning authority whether listed building consent is needed for the works.

The Regent H1 is well suited to Victorian and Edwardian terraces, listed commercial buildings, civic and institutional properties, and ecclesiastical buildings where a traditional funnel-form hopper is architecturally appropriate. Its multi-faceted tapering body reads as period-accurate on Gothic and classical building types alike, and it is a commonly specified choice for conservation and listed building projects across the UK.
Our bespoke rise and fall gutter brackets — including fascia, side rafter, and top rafter variants for Osma Roofline and Osma SuperLine systems — are manufactured to order.

Casting of iron is an imperfect processs. It is possible with some cast iron radiators that you will get minor imperfections in the surface finish. When radiators are painted this will reduce and over the years every additional coat of paint applied will provide a smoother more equal finish.
