Mankind Can Never Forget That He Lived

In 1785 Dr Edward Jenner (1749-1823) bought the Chantry for £600. It was from here that he pioneered vaccination in May 1796. In 1806, former US President, Thomas Jefferson, wrote to Jenner: You have erased from the calendar of human afflictions one of its greatest...mankind can never forget that you have lived. By 1980 vaccination had wiped out a devastating disease. A world first. Vaccination has since saved millions of lives globally.

He saved your life, help us save his legacy

We are a global symbol for the importance of vaccination. Join our campaign to raise £2 million to restore the Chantry. New public areas will be opened up and Jenner's garden reinstated. We will enhance the unique experience of standing in the former home of one of the world's greatest scientists. Your support will help extend our global conversation on vaccination.
