That's a name that has meandered through some centuries, at least two major divisions of English (off of England), a vowel shift, and no doubt a lot of G&Ts.

I live in Somerset, which for some reason has a reputation for some weird place names. It does too but no worse than the rest of the country.

Hatch Beauchamp (Hatch Beech'um), Ryme Intrinseca (whatevs), Tintinhull (Tint'nll), Crewkerne (Crook'un). Oh and there's a bloody great chalk outline of a bloke with a massive club at Cerne Abbas.

You may have heard of Glastonbury. That is pronounced in these parts something like: Glasstunbree (run all the syllables together, shorten all the sounds except the mildly sibilant ss and trailing ee). The music festival is actually held near Pilton but Glasto sounds much cooler.
