The Vineyard is a road in Richmond, London. It includes three groups of almshouses,[1][2][3] a Grade II listed church (St Elizabeth of Portugal Church)[4] and Clarence House, a 17th-century Grade II listed house associated with Bernardo O’Higgins,[5][6] who is commemorated on the wall of the property with a blue plaque, installed by English Heritage, for his work in the Chilean War of Independence.[6][nb 1]
