How many place names does Tony Robinson mispronounce in this series

I was watching the Cheshunt Ermine Road catch up last night. All the way through he was pronouncing Cheshunt with "sh". It should be pronounced Ches - hunt or Cheznt. So how many others did he get wrong ?

There are a lot of place names in the UK that are not pronounced how they are spelt.
Anyone visiting these towns would naturally say the names as they are written. It's only the locals that would know the alternative way.
So this isn't Tony Robinsons fault.
