You forgot Belvoir - Beaver..... Ask anyone who ever served in the armed forces and Beaufort will be pronounced Bo-fort, the name of a rather popular gun of WWII.
There's a lovely one in Dorset spelled Puncknowle and pronounced Punnel.
And to be pedantic, as the Princess of Wales insisted, it is William and Harry, not Henry.
