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)

A wealth of detailed and well-researched information has been added over time to this article. However, in it's current form the volume of medieval and related background, including images, greatly overwhelms the other content on the page. Additionally, a lot of specialized terminology (medieval legal and clerical terms, etc) not familar - or perhaps of general interest - to the lay public is utilized. It seem to me that this skews the article from its intent, which is to be a readable encyclopedia entry on Penkridge in general. Would be interested in other opinions on this - one solution would be to split off the detailed information to its own article (perhaps "History of Penkridge"?) and link to it from a briefer, summary section in this one?

Under subsection "Importance of the Church" appears this:
"The focus of worship was prayer and sacrifice for the dead, not care for the living."
I question these two words - as far as I can understand Christian worship even then not include any kind of sacrifices (animal etc). I wonder if it is a non-Christian's mistaken comment or the word used meant something other than sacrificial rites? I am holding fire on deleting them to allow someone to answer.

This seems a point of controversy: Ordnance Survey reckons it's a town. [1] Pam D 14:20, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

It's a village I've looked into it and researched for anything for town but only found township. But it is considered a village by the parish council and Staffordshire county council. It went unchecked which is why many referred to it as a market town when it was not RailwayJG ( talk) 15:04, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
