Census takers tended to use literal descriptions - on the 1891 census Cuddesdon has Brook Lane, The Lane (which may be Village Street in previous census and does still exist) and the Row as specific street descriptions with many of the entries having no street name at all.

Would anyone with local knowledge please advise if today's High Street was once called Village Street. If not, where in Cuddesdon is Village Street. I checked Google Earth and it does not show up which makes me think Village Street has undergone a name change.
