Or how about Barnoldswick, near Pendle, pronounced "Barlick". And
Cholmondeley.

Having lived in Barnoldswick in the 70's, I never heard it called
that.

Menzies (pronounced Peter)
Coming from Burnley, I have never heard Barnoldswick called 'Barlick'
either. Load of rubbish.

However, I do know that Wymondham in Norfolk is pronounced Windam, whilst
Wymondham in Lincs (?) is pronounced as it is written.

And Anthony Luxury Yacht is pronounced
Anthony Throat Wobbler Mangrove

If I'd tell you, you would blush.

Classical Latin was last used
as a mother tongue some two millennia ago, so you clearly must be at
least that old.

I was brought up in a convent, saying prayers in Latin 3 times a day
and once a month going to mass given in Latin. I would have thought
that the Catholic Church was perhaps the closest to latin
pronounciation than the anglo saxon. Call me naive, but that is my
thought.

I've always heard it pronounced "Barlick". Do a Google on "how to pronounce

You have my deepest sympathies as I too was institutionalised at an early
age in a School that did and spoke Latin.
All I remember is:-
Caesar ad sum jam forte Brutus adarat.

It is amazing that you've remembered a word in Latin that doesn't
exist, but not only that, you've managed to create one too!! ))

My favourite was nascentes morimur. At 15 years old I wrote it
everywhere - could have almost tatooed it on my forehead! The youth we
were then .... deep sigh

I heard on the grape vine that you had an "annus horribilis" but your bum is
your concern:-)

Once a MONTH? What a heathen bunch! I was inflicted with that far
more often, in an Anglican school.

I was taught several different Latin pronounciations, because the
different users of it have drifted over the years. I am pretty
sure that there are a lot of different ones in use in the Eastern
church, which has generally preserved the original traditions rather
more closely than the Western (including, of course, the bishopric
of Rome).

Since you ask, you are naive.

Once a month a Latin mass - but mass every Fridays at school and off
course every Sundays.

The latin mass was my favourite I must say. The boredom was such that
we had devised with my friends a game of names. On the wall of the
chuch (cathedral actually) were we stood was hundred of names in great
columns of men who had fought and died during the two wars. Our game
was to sign with our fingers a number meaning a column, and another
number meaning a name. Endless fun with the most funny names off course
whilst yelling "misere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam
....".

I don't understand. Who has drifted? Rome?

I have sang many times in greek orthodox churches and we sang the same
songs with the same pronounciation. The only pronounciation of latin
that I have experienced is by English people who do not have as the
source of their words, the same as the latin roots in other langages.
It amuses me therefore to hear someone saying " Mayseree mayee,
Deeyous, seecondom maygnam mayseeraycordiam tchooam ..." )

Since you ask, you are naive.

I am impressed that you have deducted this from two posts on the
subject. But then again I've given you the idea.
