	Also with Northampton, were a number of Norfolk gentlemen and landowners holding estates throughout the county. There was a closing of the ranks and a unity in the defence of their county and their class against a common enemy. Kett knew that it was only a matter of time before a stronger force was sent against him and he sought to extend the rebellion throughout Norfolk.

	It not only provided soldiers for the military in the two world wars but in both conflicts the population at large played very important roles. It is a well-known fact that many women took on jobs previously considered as a male only occupation both within public service such as transport and the manufacture of the essentials of war. Situated on the outskirts of Norwich, Sprowston saw workers employed both on the land and in the production of armaments. The civilian population quite frequently used to have to fulfil their daytime occupation and war time commitments in such things as, the Home Guard, Air Raid Wardens, WRVS. People often find themselves doing jobs totally alien to their normal work such as becoming a member of the Auxiliary Fire Service. Sprowston became home to various army units whilst in training before deployment overseas, many being remembered with affection by the Sprowston residents who were children at that time. Unfortunately along with many other parishes in both conflicts people of the parish made the ultimate sacrifice, now remembered on the war memorial and a recently published book. This isn't the only legacy of war since Sprowston has two sets of housing " The Memorial Cottages" provided for disabled military personnel, a role they fulfil to this day.
