I am almost certainly mis-remembering the local accent, but does Lowestoft fit the bill? It would not fit into the song, taking a long time to say. Althorpe, as pronounced by the Spencers (as opposed to as pronounced by the-likes-of-me) too appears to be at least equally stressed (or perhaps I am over-sensitive to the 'throp').
Yiewsley almost certainly doesn't, but I have no idea how it is pronounced. May even have four syllables. Ifold and Ewelme fall into the same category (although I'm pretty certain they have two syllables).
