Hi belligerent one,
I don't think any Brits have responded to this one yet, so I'll summarize my own pronunciations. I'd have to add that these may well be subject to regional variations (my "region" being essentially Southern England, with a smidgeon of Midlands and the merest dash of West Country to the way I talk):
bury = BEH-ree
library = LIBE-ruh-ree
Canterbury = CAN-tuh-BUH-ree
(the first "r" is almost, but not quite, sounded)
