"PULHAM, ST. MARY MAGDALEN is a considerable village, about a mile north of the above [ie Pulham St Mary the Virgin], on an eminence, 4½ miles N.W. of Harleston. Its parish had 1155 inhabitants in 1841, including 130 in Depwade Union Workhouse, which is described at page 699 [which is the entry for Depwade Hundred]. It includes many scattered houses, and 2956A. 1R. 19P. of land, of which the commons called Bush-green, Colegate-end, and Gresham green, were enclosed in 1838-'9. It is nearly all in Robert Copeman, Esq.'s manor of Pulham, (fines arbitrary,) and anciently had a weekly market, and was noted for the manufacture of hats, dornecks, coverlets, &c. It has still a cattle fair, on the third Thursday in May. The Church is a large structure, with a tower and six bells, and its curacy, with all the tithes of the parish, is consolidated with the rectory of Pulham St. Mary the Virgin, as already noticed. The Hall, anciently a seat of a younger branch of the Percy family, was rebuilt by the late J. Crickmore, Esq., and is now the property of Laverock Leggett, Esq."

There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.
- 1841 and 1851 Censuses
- "The Parishes of Pulham St. Mary Magdalen (or Pulham Market) and Pulham St. Mary the Virgin are ecclesiastically united. The Return for the former includes 130 persons in 1841, and 311 in 1851, in the Depwade Union Workhouse."
- 1901 Census
- "Including Bush Green, Colegate End, and Coles Common."
- 1911 Census
- Out of the population of 1001, 165 were in a large establishment or institution. This was probably the workhouse.
