What's really bizarre is how vehemently each side side defends their pronunciation.

That one is so easy I'm surprised anyone needs to ask; Free-mantle.

I would say Kez-ick. Silent W similar to Berwick (Ber-ick) and Warwick (Wor-ick).

How about Launceston? There is at least 3 pronunciations that I know of.

Keswick, in the UK (which I assume is the original) is pronounced 'Kes-ick'. When Tom Petrie was asked about Mackay, he stated that it was 'Mack-eye' and that John Mackay would be rolling in his grave, if any other version was used. John's rellies in the UK were also asked to clarify and the answer was the same.
