Best Answer

When the Anglo-Saxons ruled Britain, the corral where stray animals were safely kept was called a "pinfold". Persons employed in this valuable aspect of animal husbandry were subsequently dubbed "Penfold". This proud English surname is first found in the early records of Bedfordshire, where they had held a family seat.
