During these times, the militia regiment was often stationed inland during the winter months at smaller camps like Meryton.
Longbourn in Pride and Prejudice is the location (estate) where the Bennet family resides. It is located in Hertfordshire, somewhat near Meryton. The Bennet's estate is owned by the girls father, Mr. Bennet and would be handed over to the next male relative if there was one, which means that none of the 5 daughters would be able to inherit it. The property is described as quite large, with a carriage and horses as well as land and the estate. This location is especially important because it is where the main characters of the novel live and spend the majority of their time.
