Trowse (pronounced by those from Norwich and by elderly residents of the village), also called Trowse with Newton, is a village in Norfolk, England. It lies about south-east of Norwich city centre, on the banks of the River Yare. It covers an area of and had a population of 479 in 233 households at the 2001 census; it increased to 862 in 374 households at the 2011 census. There are approved plans to build a further 770 houses on the outskirts of the village, at White Horse Lane and the Deal Ground sites.
==Toponymy== The name Trowse derives from the old English/Scottish word "trouse", for "a grating of wood or iron", which could be raised or lowered (like a gate) to allow water out of a dam into a mill race. The original village grew up round the local water mill, now Trowse Millgate.
