Pronunciation & Spelling

The words above share the spelling chunk -chester, but none rhymes with Chichester (pronounced /ˈtʃitʃəstə(r)/). In these lookalikes, the unstressed ending is usually /tʃɪstə(r)/ (Winchester, Manchester, etc.) or /tʃestə(r)/ (Chester), and the stressed vowel occurs in the first syllable, not in the che- part. Beware also of Leicester, which is spelled -cester but pronounced /ˈlɛstə(r)/.
