Hi Ewelme resident.
OpenStreetMap is a public crowdsourced venture, where people often start
adding data to the map for the area which is local to them.
With your 43 years of knowledge you make the ideal person to improve the
map for Ewelme & it's surrounds.
It's easy to get going, just follow the Walkthrough feature under the
Help icon on the right hand side:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=id#map=16/51.6194/-1.0710
Please feel free to join in.

Hi,
someone claiming to have lived there for over 40 years has emailed to
DWG a list of corrections for the village of Ewelme, Oxfordshire, that I
am sharing in the hope that someone local can deal with them:
--- start
The mapping for Ewelme, Oxfordshire contains some errors in road names.
I should point out that I have lived in the village for 43 years, so I
think I am well placed to comment.
The road between the Shepherd’s Hut and the Kings Pool, running roughly
NW-SE is called “The Street”, not “Clay Lane”. The real Clay Lane is
actually marked correctly beyond Green Lane.
The extension of The Street beyond Kings Pool (labelled “High Street”)
is also called “The Street” (it was renamed a few years ago).
Similarly, the extension of The Street beyond Day’s Lane (labelled
“Burrows Hill”) is also called “The Street”. The real Burrows Hill is
actually marked correctly, connecting The Street with Parson’s Lane.
So The Street actually runs from the Shepherd’s Hut to beyond Day’s Lane.
As an addition, the small lane running approximately Se-NW connecting
Eyre’s Lane to Cottesmore Lane is known as “The Pightles”.
I hope that you can incorporate this information into the OSM.
--- end
I'll point the person to this post so if you have any questions, I hope
they will read this.
Bye
Frederik
