The Chantry as it is today – the former Queen Anne country residence of Edward Jenner located in his home town of Berkeley. He lived here from 1785 until his death in 1823. The museum is dedicated to the life, work and legacy of Dr Edward Jenner. The original Chantry was built as the residence of Berkeley Chantry priests and used as such between 1384 and ca. 1547. The present Chantry was rebuilt ca. 1702–1707 and bought by Dr Jenner in 1785 for £600. It became the new Berkeley Vicarage in 1885 and was acquired in 1980–84 by the Jenner Appeal Trust and is now the Edward Jenner Museum.
