"The Vine", 19, Spicer Street, St. Albans, Herts. August 2005. "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 formery a public house (note the "Benskins Fine Ales and Stout" sign on the wall), 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.
