Cornholme is a village within the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale, in West Yorkshire, England
Possibly?
Darin, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

It would please me greatly if it did say Cornholme, that was my initial thought too Darin .. ? :)

'Twas in Burnley Reg Dist I think.

I think perhaps the letter we think is H could be a P looking at the word Bookeeper.
Is ther such a place as Campolane?

Looks to me like Cornholme which is near to Todmorden

Hi, it's a late post, and I hope I have read it the right way. Cornholme is to be pronounced cornhome. The "L" is silent. I know this as I lived there for 17 years.
