In addition to the names already given, the following occur to my
mind:--
Spelling. Pronunciation.
Alwalton, Hunts Allerton
Caldicott, Hunts Cawcott
Overton, Hunts Orton
Brewood, Staffordshire Brood
Chaddesley, Worcestershire Chaggeley.
In connexion with this inquiry, would it not be interesting to make out
a list of proper names of individuals, the pronunciation of which is
different from the spelling; and, if possible, to trace (for example)
how Trevelyan and St. John became _Trevethlan_ and _Sinjin_, and the
high-sounding Cholmondeley sank, in the bathos of pronunciation, to
plain Chumley?
