Size: 445mm (wide) x 180mm (deep) x 370mm (high)
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
Suitable for use on listed buildings and conservation area properties. Specify with confidence — call our team on 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form for project enquiries and pricing.

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.
Our cast iron airbricks are available in a choice of finishes including primer and painted options. If you require a specific finish for a conservation project or to match existing ironwork, please call us on 0333 987 4452 to discuss.
The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, semi-detached properties, public houses, agricultural buildings, and workshop structures where the original airbrick was a louvre-face grille. The horizontal fin profile is widely found in British domestic and light industrial construction from the 1870s through to the 1950s.
Yes. Bespoke copy casting is a core service at Tuscan Foundry Products. We can replicate any cast iron gutter, downpipe, hopper head, or fitting from drawings, detailed photographs, or a physical sample or surviving section. Each commission is assessed individually. Lead time is typically 12 to 14 weeks, and quantities as low as a single piece can be considered depending on pattern-making costs.
Yes. Decorative cast iron and brass ventilation grilles of this pattern were widely used in Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and like-for-like replacements are generally accepted by conservation officers for listed building works. We can provide product specifications and material details to support listed building consent applications if required.
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 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 Pultney Tapered Hopper Head is available in three pipe connection sizes: 65mm (2.5"), 75mm (3"), and 100mm (4"). Each size connects directly to matching cast iron downpipes via spigot and socket. Compatible downpipe codes are: 65mm — RH025, XRH025; 75mm — RH03, XRH03; 100mm — RH04, XRH04.
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.
Cast iron hopper heads are priced on enquiry due to the range of connection and finish options available. Please call us on 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form and we will respond promptly with a quotation tailored to your project requirements.
