Etymology
Perhaps 'Penec's farm', v. tūn ; cf. Penhurst (PN Sx 476). This unrecorded OE pers.n. would be a regular diminutive of an OE *Pena , itself unrecorded but a possible name from OE Penweald or Penwealh . An argument of this kind would appear to be preferable to Ekwall's suggestion (DEPN) that the first part of the name is identical with Penketh (PN La 106), a Brit compound of words which appear in W as pen coed 'end of the wood'.
