Kingscote Park is a grade II listed[1] house and country estate in Kingscote, near Tetbury, Gloucestershire, England.
It was built in 1785. It was owned by Anthony Kingscote, whose daughter Catherine married Edward Jenner in 1788. The couple met in the grounds of the manor house when a balloon that Edward Jenner was experimenting with landed in the park. [2] [3] It was formerly known as Kingscote Cottage and was the dower house to the original Kingscote Park, which was demolished in the 1960s.[4] The house is now used as holiday accommodation.
