Originally French?

Could it've originally been pronounced bell-vwor? 67.188.172.165 04:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That would have been the Norman pronunciation yes, but Belvoir has been pronounced Beaver wherever it appears in England and Northern Ireland - the English have always been funny like that with Norman French names eg Cholmondeley being said as Chumley 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 00:22, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

County

Isn't Belvoir now in the reinstated county of Rutland since the boundary change, not Leicestershire? 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 00:22, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No because it has never been in Rutland. It was in Leicestershire before the local government reorganisation of the 1970s.Spinney Hill (talk) 08:55, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
