Trowse is heavily influenced by buildings constructed by the Colmans (of mustard fame) who in the late 19th century developed it as a model village for their employees, close to their new works at Carrow. But besides private dwellings, the Colmans also had a school built for the education of their employees' children. The original school, a room adjacent to a chapel since demolished, dates from 1874. A purpose built extension, designed by the Norwich architect Edward Boardman and funded by JJ Colman, was added in 1882. The Grade 2 listed buildings are still used as a school. (This picture was taken by kind permission of the headmaster.) March 2020: The school will soon be replaced by a modern building currently under construction, with the old building depicted here to be sold off by the council.
