High Street, Chalgrove Chalgrove is a long village which looks as if it stagnated in the 18th and 19th centuries and so retained many older cottages. Development from the second half of the 20th century has been extensive and transformative but has left much of the High Street intact. The brook running the length of the village along the north side of the street adds to its personality.
