Judy, thanks for your reply. I was thinking that the names Camphouse and Camptown might be someting that came out of the 1745 conflict, but I know in Northumberland there is also a Camphouse and various other place names that start with "camp" and the word camp is suppost to denote the presence of a Celtic/prehistoric settlement. I also wonder who owned Camphouse in the 1760's, and have been tempted to write to the present owners and ask if they know any of the history of the farm. Any advice from anyone on the list, would be welcome.

I suspect the origins of the names Camphouse and Camptown will go back considerably further than 1745. Bear in mind that the ancient Roman road Dere Street ran nearby and that Chesters (the village in the parish of Southdean) is a common name in places that had Roman roots.
