Halfway between the Southwest and Lancashire. Much like Stratford-on-Avon.

@hooptyhee Actually West Country speech I believe is one of the accents that is nearest Elizabethan English that we have. Scholars believe English continued to have a doggy drawled "RRRRR" well into the C18. RP Only emerged from the universities in the late C18-early C19 I believe.

It is diificult to do Authentick Tudor accent as you are thinking about what you are going to say in modern pronounciation and translate it into Authentick Pronounciacion. But for all the slips it's worth the effort. Modern RP is not merely anachronistic but is in my esteem a little too refined and polite for a robust and earthy people as the Tudor English and Proto-Americans. I appreciate your efforts.thank you.

It's hard not to lapse into Stage Southwestern--Mummerset--when you're trying to do this. Ooo arrrgh.

It sounds seedy. It makes my skin crawl. English speech patterns have lost alot of texture over the years. it really is unfortunate.
-
Now I know where Peter Cook in Beyond the Fringe got the accent for the skit about the miner who wanted to be a judge.
-
but, in shakespear's time it will pronounce like as before the grand vowel shift,

Where can I hear longer speeches of that pronunciation?
