REGIONAL RUNNER-UP: Pennoyer's School, Pulham St Mary, Norfolk

Regional Information

Pulham St Mary is a small village in rural Norfolk around eight miles from Diss. There has been a settlement on this site since the Bronze Age, and the prosperity of the area has largely centred around farming. Today there are around 300 houses in the parish and a population of around 815. Prior to the World War One, Pulham St Mary became home to airships - the 'Pulham Pigs' of the Royal Naval Air Service. The first airship to cross the Atlantic Ocean, the R34, returned to Pulham in 1919.
