Did you know...?

Our local hero, Edward Jenner was born in Berkeley on 17 May 1749. Edward Jenner is often referred to as “the father of immunology” and his work is said to have saved more lives than the work of any other man. In 1784 Edward Jenner launched a hot air balloon from the inner court of Berkeley Castle. It travelled some ten miles to Kingscote where is descended into a field owned by Anthony Kingscote. The reapers were 'so much terrified they would not approach it'. He fell in love with the landowner’s daughter Catherine and married her in 1788. Edward Jenner died on 26 January 1823 and is buried at Berkeley.
