Re comment above, based on Winstock's statement that 'Brighton Camp' became obsolete in 1759' - for once Winstock appears mistaken: the famous military camp at Brighton is the scene of Lydia Bennet's downfall with the wicked Lt Wickham in Jane Austen's 'Pride & Prejudice' [1813, but drafted earlier under title 'First Impressions' & probably intended to be set in 1790s].
