Penistone is a small market town in the metropolitan borough of Barnsley, in South Yorkshire, England, with a population of 6,990 inhabitants (according to 2000 Mid Year estimates generated by BMBC). It lies about eight miles west of the town of Barnsley, in the foothills of the Pennines.
The original meaning of the name Penistone is unclear. Some believe that Pen derives from the Celtic word for hill, and ton comes from the Anglo Saxon for town. This would be particularly relevant as Penistone is 200 metres above sea level. Another explanation is that the housing rent was one penny when the town was built and it became known as 'Penny's Town'.
