Pulham St Mary the Virgin had three postmills working in the 1800s - a northern mill, a western_mill and a southern_mill. Nearby was the larger village of Pulham Market that was also known as Pulham St Mary Magdalen in the 1800s.

Up until at least 1871 the mill was powering two pairs of French burr stones.
