Etymology
Trashurst is Trasseland 1380, Trasshes 1381, le Trashshis (sic)1385, Trasshes 1448Norfolk , Tr (e )ashurst 1749 B, 1765 R, 1823 G. The modern form of this place-name is due to a common corruption (v. Introd. xxv). It is doubtless to be associated with the word 'trash,' for which the NED gives the sense 'twigs, splinters,' and the EDD 'cuttings from a hedge, small wood or copse.' Probably the name was applied to an area which produced nothing but very light wood, of little use for most purposes.
