I assumed that Beauchamp would be pronounced Beecham, it was just the shortened form that I overlooked.
And to answer your question, I studied drama & dance in Cheshire many years ago, and these 2 names are/were used by dance companies...
The first is pronounced as in Harry Enfield's Cholmondeley-Warner, but thank goodness I can ask you how to pronounce Featherstonehaugh; I used to know how to pronounce it, but have totally forgotten!!!!! I feel another DOH! moment coming on :-)
