Depwade Rural District was a rural district in Norfolk, England from 1894 to 1974.It was formed under the Local Government Act 1894 based on the Depwade rural sanitary district, taking its name from the ancient Depwade hundred. It lay to the east of Diss Urban District. In 1902 it took in the eastern part of the disbanded Guiltcross Rural District, thus completely encircling Diss except where that town bordered on Suffolk. Thereafter its borders were unchanged until 1974, when the district was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972 and became part of the South Norfolk district.

Pulham Market

Pulham Market is a village and civil parish in Norfolk, situated approximately 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Diss and 14 miles (23 km) south of Norwich. It covers an area of 12.08 km2 (4.66 sq mi) and had a population of 999 in 443 households as of the 2001 census, the population falling to 977 at the 2011 Census.The name 'Pulham' means 'pool homestead/village' or 'pool hemmed-in land'. The nearest railway station is Diss. It once had its own station on the Waveney Valley Line which is now closed. The long-distance footpath Boudica's Way runs through the village. Older maps and documents name the parish or village "Pulham Saint Mary Magdalene" after the dedication of its parish church. The neighbouring parish and village was historically known as "Pulham Saint Mary the Virgin" after the dedication of its own parish church, though is these days typically abbreviated to Pulham St Mary. The earliest recorded spelling is Polleham. Pulham is referenced in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a single manor (including both Pulham Market and Pulham St Mary as we know them today) and being part of the Earsham hundred. The name Pulham is thought to mean the farmhouse, homestead or enclosure by the pool, water meadow or stream. There is a 'beck' (Norfolk dialect for a small watercourse) that flows by both villages. In modern times the two villages of Pulham St Mary and Pulham Market are often together described as The Pulhams including on road signs in the surrounding areas. The village was struck by an F0/T1 tornado on 23 November 1981, as part of the record-breaking nationwide tornado outbreak on that day. Another tornado later struck nearby Pulham St Mary. As of 2019, the village has a primary school, a doctors' surgery, two pubs (The Crown and The Falcon), a shop/post office, and several other community facilities.
