There's loads of examples like that around the place. The "great vowel shift" is also responsible for many of them. Near here (Yeovil, Somerset) is Leigh - not "Lee" but "Lie". Elsewhere in the UK Leigh will be pronounced "Lay" - I'll put money on it. When I first saw your village name, I instinctively went for "husted kens". We generally shorten syllables and clip consonants, except when we don't! We insist on aspirating "h" (herb vs 'erb) but will turn beauchamp "bow'shamp" into "beeshum".
