Post by: GEORGE SAINT on Monday 06 October 14 18:49 BST (UK)

Hi George ,

I've found a reference on the 1861 Census to The Camp , Village/Town - Flashbrook.

looking at the Stafford and district map 1898. The Camp is on the crossroads between Ellerton Hall, Pickstock, Parkheath and Warton Grange. It also lies close to Flashbrook wood and manor and is almost certainly The Camp farm as listed here.
