Queen Elizabeth's Almhouses are almshouses in Richmond, London, founded by Sir George Wright in 1600 (during the reign of Elizabeth I) to house eight poor aged women.
[1][2] Known originally as the "lower almshouses", they were built in Petersham Road, a few hundred yards south of what is now Bridge Street.
[3] In 1767, William Turner rebuilt the almshouses on land at the top end of his estate in The Vineyard.
Funds for the rebuilding were raised by public subscription.
[3][6] They were damaged during World War II and replaced with four newly built houses in 1955.
