Welcome to the Trowse with Newton Parish Council website.

Trowse is a vibrant village on the edge of the city of Norwich, that feels more rural than urban, being surrounded by woodland, Whitlingham broads and open fields. The history of Trowse is an interesting one, as it was one of a handful of “model villages” set up in Victorian times to house the Colman’s mustard workforce. The Colman’s family still have strong links to the village. Over the last 20 years, Trowse has seen two new developments expand the village and adding to its rich diversity and enforcing that Trowse is a desirable place to live.

The village boasts a 13th century church (St Andrews); 17th century Manor Rooms (hosting various events); a primary school; 2 pubs (Crown Point and the White horse); a vegetarian restaurant (River Green), and dance studio (Copper Dot). The village green and playing field has play equipment for children. A  dry Ski slope is located on the outskirts of the village and Whitlingham country park, campsite and adventure centre is a short distance away.


All Parish Council public meeting dates and times are published on this page. All public meetings take place in the Manor Rooms, Trowse.
