View of Raynshaw's Almshouses and 'The Vine', Spicer Street, and junction of Spicer Street and Lower Dagnall Street. "The Vine" was once the home of Sir Richard Raynshaw, yeoman of the King's Guard, who left this house and the adjoining cottages as almshouses in his will in 1569. It was also formerly a public house and St Albans Corporation Records show that in 1833 the lease was purchased by John Henry Buckingham, a local artist, many of whose works are held by St Albans Museums.
