Dr Jenner's House in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, is the former home of pioneering scientist Edward Jenner (1749–1823) and the site where he developed vaccination. The museum preserves his house, peaceful gardens, and the Temple of Vaccinia — the rustic summerhouse used as the world's first vaccination clinic.
