    3. Hello again, Denise, As to what "The Camp" might have been, I don't know. There's no mention of it in the Enumerator's Description of his District - "all within the boundary" - and there's equally no indication of it in my current largeish-scale Street Map [3½" to the mile] or the current OS 1:50,000. As to where it might be, assuming the Enumerator arranged his forms in a logical walking-through order, it'd seem to be somewhere between: Lower Lightwoods Farm - Grid SO 804557 (at the end of a cul-de-sac) and (today's) Otherton Farm - Grid SO 805542 [not named on the OS] - roughly a mile, cross-country, to the South and on the far side of the Worcester-Bromyard Road. [From there, he'd seemingly continued west cross-country about ½ a mile to Howsen - which IS marked.] The 1851 Enumerator is no help - he 'walked his route' differently, and was coy in his use of namesgenerally. There's no mention of The Camp... I've not looked further! It is *possible* that the OldMaps site just may have more detail on the 1885 6" or 25" OS Maps - but don't hold your breath. What was once a Useful Resource has been revamped so you (almost) have to buy the product blind to see if it actually DOES show what you want.
