Edward the Confessor Facing bust/small cross

[MATTGBC]

Could anyone help me figure out the mint/moneyer on this facing bust/short cross penny?

I have been looking in North but can't find a match!

I wonder if the moneyer is Gildepine (Gildewine)  who North lists at Leicester. I can’t see that in the mint name though. The reverse seems to read 

‘GILDEPINE ON ‘ and then a letter or two  that may be a gross abbreviation due to lack of space.  I will try the EMC database.

The BM mentions two coins of Gildepine , both of Canterbury, no pics though. But the mint name on yours may well begin with ‘C’.

Another Edward the Confessor penny of Gildepine at Canterbury, the latter given as CA.

Think you're right. Looks like GILDEPINE ON C

I guess if spacing was an issue they would lose the A after the C.

Thankyou, really appreciate the identification! i've been collecting for 20 years but i'm still relatively inexperienced with Anglo Saxon!
