I live just down the road in holmfirth in West Yorkshire..
Between a couple of local villages..Farnley Tyas an Thurstonland (!) is a 16th centuary milepost with it clearly spelt as ‘Pennystone’….at some point i think maybe the village fathers thought this must have sounded cheap and decided to rename the place penistone….!

-Penistone: stiff competition for best town name ever.
-Penistone: mightier than the sword.
-Penistone: a hard town is good to find.
-Penistone: actually, yes, we ARE glad to see you.
-Things are looking up in Penistone.
-A town that shrinks when it swims.
-A bulge on the Yorkshire map.
-My town is SO big…
-It’s not the size of the census…
-When it comes to town names, this place got the shaft.
-Welcome to Penistone, bam chakka wawaa.
