The Mitre
A Young's pub on St Mary's Grove.
"Until 1861 the owners of the Mitre were the Richmond Church Charities Trust so this may be where its name came from. It is not known whether or not the lovely windows depicting a bishops mitre and crook are original". [source: Young's website - page later removed]

Plaque on the addition to Hickey's Almshouses
For context see Image The text reads "additional almshouses erected on the foundation of w Hickey Esq who died 1728".
According to a local history website , "William Hickey, who died in 1727, left his property in trust to provide pensions for 6 men and 10 women. Hickey owned several important and valuable properties on Richmond Hill, including The Wick. By the start of the 19th century, the trust had to decide what to do with
the large amount of income. So in 1834 it decided to build and endow 20 almshouses for 10 men and 10 women, plus a chapel, and 2 gate lodge cottages – 1 for a porter, the other for a nurse – in Sheen Road. Since then another 29 dwellings have been built on land behind the original almshouses."
