Its never easy when just presented with one word, no idea if its a place (as in village/town) name or an abode (farm name etc) combined with not seeing any more of the document or being told where it can be viewed we don't have the option of comparing letters with other words to be more sure.

All I can say is that I see the word Barnfold.
