Thank you again for your replies!

So it seems it is possible to grow outside in England. The brown tips on
the leaves haven't spread since I moved it away from the window, so if
that was either caused by the cold or too much sun, then I wonder if it
is okay to put outside.

When I bought the plant, I did some research and a couple of websites
said to keep it indoors in the winter, or in a cool green
house/conservatory.

There is a world of difference between a cold greenhouse (i.e. not heated)
and the inside of a centrally heated house, unless your house is very damp
the plant really won't like to be right inside, if you have a porch that may
do, or build it a frost shelter in situ, this last would be my favourite as
Camellias are not good long term in pots (I assume your soil PH is OK? needs
to be 6.5 or less, if you don't know test it before planting)
