Pulham St Mary the Virgin had three windmills working in the 1800s - a northern postmill, a western_postmill and a southern_smockmill. Nearby was the larger village of Pulham Market that was also known as Pulham St Mary Magdalene in the 1800s. |
Up until at least 1871 the northern mill was powering two pairs of French burr stones. |
