Notes and points of interest

Jenner plaque Edward Jenner is a celbrated former resident of Gloucestershire, whose life if more fully celebrated at a Museum in Berkeley (see Berkeley, Stone and Ham walk). His famous contribution to human health is his discovery of vaccination as a treatment for smallpox. In 1788 he was married to Catherine Kingscote in the parish chirch at Kinsgscote, where a plaque in the porch celebrates the event. Kingscote church is about 250 yards off the route of this walk. The pretty village of Kingscote makes the short diversion an attractive option.

Kingscote Church

Kingscote this pretty village is off the main tourist route. In fact the road to it is so little used you may not see any cars at all. Built in traditional materials it is pretty in any season, but especially in spring when the blossoms are out.
