The Manor House probably counted as two houses, with one divided between two families, but for the above statistics every dwelling is counted making 56 in all. 

Only those few houses in quotes were named, together with a note of the School.  New buildings comprise Gardeners Cottage, and a pair of Sea Cottages.   The village was enumerated beginning at Slaters in the Street, westwards on that side via Baytree and Forge Cottage to Grove Cottage and then back on the other side via Manor House, Old Yews and Winters, then to the Homestead, and back oddly to Barn Row, returning to Beehives, and so to the Coast Cottages.  Perhaps by taking the Coastguards in two sections the enumerator gave a total of 9 instead of 11 for those cottages. It is peculiar how the Coastguards cottages numbered 11 in this census but usually 10, as if they were adapted to suit.  It is notable that the whole village appears to be Preston Street.

New houses since 1871 comprise Lorne Villa, the four new Jackmans Cottages, Louisa Villas, a third Sea Cottage, the old Sea Cottage having become the coastguard boathouse.  Old Yews is demolished.  Park Cottage now included in Angmering parish.  Almost the whole village was listed under Preston Street, except the House on Bend listed under Sea Lane as it is named today.  The enumerator began his tour at Groves Cottage and proceeded south to Baytree House and to House on Bend, returning to continue south along the Street down to Sea Cottages.  An increase in population for the whole village partly resulted from the enlarged Union and new workhouse.

In 1891 the only new house was Far End in modern Sea Lane.  The enumerator took a logical course through the village from Preston Place south to Baytree House and then to the Sea Lane houses and back to Baytrees House to continue along the Street and then south down present day Sea Road to the sea.  The roads are not named apart from Sea Lane.
