Would it not be useful to add the correct pronunciation of Kesteven to the article? I don't know what it is: it could be IPA: [kɛˈstɛvən] or IPA: [kəˈstivən]. — Gareth Hughes 19:51, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure that even the residents of Lincolnshire can agree on what it is: IPA: [kəˡstiːvən] wins out slightly over IPA: [ˡkɛstəvən] in terms of frequency, but some people insist on the latter. I say give both as alternatives -- though undoubtedly someone will say that only one is correct and the other a diabolical perversion. --TheVenerableBede 12:57, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
