[edit] Derivation of name

The article currently has: on the River Penk from which its name is derived.

It is more likely that the river name is a back-formation from the name Penkridge, since there was a British settlement in the vicinity called Pencric or Penncrug (Romanized as Pennocrucium) and meaning "head (i.e. end) of the ridge". [1] [2] -- Picapica 11:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
