Pulham is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in south-west England. It is situated in the Blackmore Vale, 7 miles (11 kilometres) southeast of Sherborne. In the 2011 Census the civil parish had 105 dwellings,[1] 103 households and a population of 269.[2]
Pulham was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and was once owned by Cirencester Abbey, a connection remembered in the name of Cannings Court Farm (the "Court of the Canons").[3] Priests from nearby Milton Abbey also used to visit the village church; they resided above the porch in a priests' room, accessed via a staircase within the wall.[3]
Notable people
George Saxby Penfold was Rector of Pulham from 1797 to 1832, but after 1815 held other livings as well.[4]
