Facts about Penistone

General Info

The highest point, Hartcliffe Tower, is 1,194 ft (364 m) above sea level and has views over the Woodhead bypass and the Dark Peak. The surrounding countryside is predominantly rural with farming on rich well-watered soil on mainly gentle slopes rising to the bleak moorland to the west of the town. Dry stone walls, small hamlets and farms surrounded by fields and livestock are synonymous with the area. The area is known for its rugged breed of sheep, the Whitefaced Woodland.

History

The place-name Penistone is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Pengeston and Pangeston; later sources record it as Peningston.It may mean “the farmstead at the hill called Penning”, in reference to the high ridge immediately south of the town. This combines the Brittonic word penn (meaning a head, end, or height) with the Old English suffix ing and the word tun (meaning a farmstead or village).

Penistone has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place-names because it contains the letter sequence “penis”;however, those initial five letters are not pronounced like the name of the body part.
