Help needed with identifying a 'possible' Edward the Confessor cut penny.

Hello everybody from a very wet u.k!
I found this coin today, and I guess it probably wouldn't have been detected except I was going round a field that had large areas of standing water in it, so was avoiding getting stuck in the mud!
Anyway, less of my squelchy tales, the coin has been purposely cut in half, so not chopped by machinery. I'm going to resist the urge to straighten it as it has a tiny hole in it, and I know these coins can be very brittle. All it's had is a rinse in the sink.
So, it weighs 0.6 grams, and is exactly 20mm in diameter. I am hopeless at deciphering this type of lettering, and this is why I come to you as I know there will be some expert(s) out there who can read these coins easily.
My thanks to all for reading this, and for all help offered.

It looks to be Edward Confessor Pointed Helmet type (1053-6), moneyer Godwine - with all letters on flan. The mint name is on the missing half. Someone with better info than me can possibly supply a list of mint locations for Godwine on BMC VII - I don't have it..

Edited: Several possible locations for Godwine on BMC VII in BM collection. Unfortunately its a common AS name.

 

Thank you very much for this, much appreciated.

 

Couldn't find a die match on EMC, so the best I can do is a list of Godwines according to North.

Bedford, Bristol, Cambridge, Canterbury, Colchester, Dorchester, Dover, Exeter, Gloucester, Guildford, Hertford, Huntingdon, Lewes, London, Maldon, Norwich, Oxford, Rochester, Salisbury, Shrewsbury, Stafford, Stamford, Thetford, Winchester, Worcester and York. Plus any other mints that have come to light in the 30+ years since the list was compiled.

Probably easier to say where it wasn't made.

 

Crickey, I see what you mean! Thanks for this, bit of a mind boggling mine field. Reckon I'll just make a note, 'Minted in England'
