Parish History[edit | edit source]
TROWSE-NEWTON (St. Andrew), a parish, in the union and hundred of Henstead, E. division of Norfolk, 1 mile (S. E. by S.) from Norwich. [1]
Trowse St Andrew is an Ancient Parish in the Brooke deanery of the Diocese of Norwich .
Here is an excellent 19th century historical perspective by the famous topographer, Samuel A. Lewis:
"TROWSE [or Trowse-Newton] (St. Andrew), a parish, in the union and hundred of Henstead, E. division of Norfolk, 1 mile (S. E. by S.) from Norwich; containing 562 inhabitants. It is bounded on the north by the river Yare, and comprises 1121a. 3r., of which 725½ acres are arable, and the rest pasture. The surface is varied, and Crown Point, an eminence in the parish, commands a fine view of Norwich, with the village of Thorpe and the rivers Wensum and Yare. The village is pleasantly situated on the river, and consists of neatly-built houses. There is an extensive flour-mill in Trowse-Millgate (which place, together with Brecondale [aka Bracondale] and Carrow, is within the county of the city of Norwich)." See also Lakenham.
Also nearby is Whitlingham, a "small churchless aprish and hamlet at the mouth of the River Wensum"[2] Whitlingham's church (St. Andrew) "was dilapiated about 1630."[3] "The tavern called Whitlingham White House, is in Trowse-Newton parish."[4]
